So I started detecting last summer thanks to having seen 'toasted' pull some seriously cool BANNER loot from our hometown in Maryland. Throughout the summer I dug a crapton of clad, but it wasn't until the fall that I started taking detecting somewhat seriously, meaning I started evaluating sites, doing research, etc. I also moved from the F2 to the AT Pro. I dug my first silver, a 1940 Walker, on Oct 8. For the rest of the calendar year, I did fairly well with what I call 'significant' finds. I ended up 2015 with 17 silvers, a KG1, and a couple IHPs and old Nickels.
So I set a personal goal for 2016 of 50 silvers.
I was well on my way to reaching that goal when, on February 20, I upgraded from the AT Pro to the E-Trac. Since then I've been pulling silvers and significant others at what I consider to be a more than satisfactory rate.
Today, with a 1929 Merc, I reached my 2016 goal of 50 silvers...in a little more than a quarter of the year. Many thanks to toasted, Anthony, and the lots of forum members who've graciously dished out solid advice.
Also pulled an OD Nickel, a Buffalo (my first with a decipherable date...1930 i think), and a tiny little button.
Now to another significant find...my old bottle of Lagavulin. time to celebrate/inebriate:
Thanks for reading/looking & happy hunting all!!
