One doesn't *have* to be nuts...

...to be out hunting in this extreme heat.

But, it certainly helps!

Went to another school ground today and had an interesting day:



The usual suspects. Would you believe?
That almost that entire pile of pennies is from 1965-1978?



But, did manage a nice wheatie. Not too terrible for coming from 8 inches down!
In hard packed, hot, dry ground!



I figured just another kid pin and it is but...



This pin seems to be pretty well constructed!

I wonder, does anyone else do this? It was
early in my walk and what I like to do sometimes
is to use something akin to an archaeological dig.

Not a true one but I take a few extra pains on a target,
(has to be a pretty high VDI ), that I think might be special.

I just want to take the hole down to the target in such a way
as to get to it intact. Still oriented as it has been buried for
all those years. I take special notice as to the sound it made,
the depth reported and the VDIs given. After I get down to it,
I check to see if I figured right and try to remember the orientation and other
items in the hole. Sort of learning to understand more about what my machine
is trying to tell me.

Like this one and several other finds today. The ground was very, very dry but
the ground balance was only about 80, usually it's around 90 in my areas. Still,
the signals were particularly clear today. At least they were before the heat stroke.









Anyway, finally, a dime just "the other side... of 1965.



Everybody appears happy.

Thanks everybody, for your support and for taking the time to peek.

Nice job getting out in the heat and collecting a great bunch of goodies! Silver & wheats!

Of course the info gained is gold (helps you to find gold!).

I think the silver dime has been claimed....by the Blingester!
Fishy can now say he's a globe trotter, with the pin to prove it!


I try to get as much info as i can before i dig (its remembering it all thats the problem!). I think i need to take notes in the field!

The interesting stuff comes up sometimes as a wheat cent reading, always a lower VDI number.
I was checking out a lot of lower readings today too.
There was some weird readings from the iron that got a little wet from the quarter inch of rain, never had that happen before.
It does help if you can take your time.

I don't do that technique on all the targets, of course. But, when I do, I always learn a little more.
Like this time, as dry as the ground was, the depths reached were quite a bit more than I figured possible.

Still, I do try to call my shot on every target. Helps me to remember to do it on special ones and almost always
gives a surprise or two.

Thanks!

I added a lot to my can slaw collection. . At lest the detector wasn't telling me, "i told you it was can slaw!"
...it just kept repeating "can we go home now?"
