Troy Shadow X5, Minelab Musketeer Advantage
Well we had our first snow today in my area of Joisey. I could'nt let the snow keep me from getting in my weekend excusion. The wife and kids left this a.m. for Disneyland. They made it to Nationals for the Cheerleading competition. So off I went. I went back to the same area that I found the 10K ring from a week or two ago. 15 minutes into the hunt I find a 18K ring with a blue stone in it. That made my day but I stayed another three hours. If lead was gold I'd be rich. Anyway the totals in clad were
20 quarters, 13 nickels, 23 dimes, 55 mems, and a wheatie. A bunch of sinkers and a few lures. A junk ring and a couple other doodads. I used my Shadow X2 with the rain cover (no rain cover for my X5). Coming off yesterday's disappointing relic hunt with my buddies this sorta makes up for it.
HH, Mike in NJ
