Shooting Silver In The Barrel

[Ricardo_NY1]

That is sort of what it felt like today. I decided to stay away from the spot where I found the SLQ this past weekend until tomorrow so Tom and I can go over it together, so the idea was to move around from place to place. Each and every spot I went to spit out a coin or two. I think almost two hours went by before I got the first, and kept thinking it wasn't going to be as productive a day, but once the ball rolled, it just kept on rolling. I started the day at around 9am, had four by 1:30ish pm, had eight by 3ish, and from that point, I was concentrating on getting one more to set a personal best (Over 8 ). I managed about three or four on video, so I'll be making one tonight. My only regret was not getting more of it on film.........Instead I ended up with lots of clad and junk getting caught on camera. I ended the day at 4:30 with a total of 11.
I wil say that the Explorer armed with an 8" coil seems far more productive than with the stock. I've been doing alot better since I got that coil a couple of months ago. Photos enclosed.

Sweet. You made a great haul. That's my best for a day - 11. And that was a long day.

What's the best merc of the bunch you found?

The 8" coil is great - I can detect much longer with it over the stock. Only thing I have found with it is I tend to get a little more falsing on that deep iron. You do loose a little depth but not much. I use the small coil about 50% of the time.

Hey Bob,
If I could see the dates clearly without a lens.........I'd check them all! It seems the only time I am able to make out the dates is when I take photos of them. When I hunt with Tom, he usually looks at them and makes out the date. I have noticed that in this years collection, there are some older dates. I believe I saw a '17 and several in the 20's. My eyes are not that bad..........but they could be better.
At first I would use the stock and 8" coil somewhat evenly. These past two months, I've only been using the 8" coil.
