Very dry, hard to get through the first 2"
of Ground cover, Once through that
the Ground turned to powder when
dug in.

May have been hammered but you found some nice keepers. Our dirt once loose goes to dust.
Nice hunt!

Hey,
That's saying something if you can hunt a beeped out park, and still come back with some really good finds.

I wasted the first hour, decided because it was
Hunted hard & I didn't have much time,
I'd do something I Hate Turned Disc up, & Cherry picked,
working very slow.

couldn't get a Decent signal, Couldn't even get nulls from trash.

& The deep iffy ones kept coming up deeper then
My "Mighty" AP digger & still giving a weak signal on my S-1

so needless to say, not finding anything.

Decided on a possable unworked corner.
Stopped cherry Picking,
got out my "Monster" AP digger,
& started digging
everthing,
which still wasn't overwhelming.
but at least productive.

I Know I didn't have time for the Silver,
Should have stayed,
Cause I Know it's there.
