I got out yesterday for a nice long hunt with Brian, a.k.a. Cal-Cobra, a.k.a. Frodo the Ring Bearer (I'll let him post about that).
We started on the beach, but after a few hours we moved to a turf spot. Once again I found myself listening to the E-Trac orchestra on just about every swing of the coil Do I dig countless copper pennies and zincs hoping for that elusive gold item, and hopefully pocket some always welcome wheaties, or do I listen carefully for those sweet flutey high tones and try to eek out a silver or two? Well, I'm a sucker for silver, and unfortunately sniping for silver is becoming too much of a habit for me, but that's what I chose to do.
So the following video, while a bit long, demonstrates my patience for digging around and under roots to pull a few silvers from their hidey holes.
I always learn something on every hunt, no matter if it is the beach or the turf. Usually I learn a lot from each hunt. My lesson learned on this particular hunt is that when you've got that definitive sweet high flutey silver sound, don't get careless if faced with troublesome roots. I put a nice mark on the first silver I dug by careless digging around the roots.
On with the show...

I enjoyed the video - is that a helmet cam? 
Shock Horror. Unless the tree is destined for harvesting, chopping into its 'lifelines' doesn't help its long term health.
