Minelab Explorer Forum

I got Wil out today for a hunt and we hit a few new spots.
The first thing I dug was a 35 Wash. which was nice to get a silver first dig. Not to mention I have been on some kind of weird silver Wash streak lately.
The next place was much older and it held my wheat's which gave me six (gave one to the child watching me). The oldest from here was a 15d. I also got a old broach there also.
Then we hit a old schoolhouse on the way home and it gave up the copper compact.
We did not know he owned the property behind the school and that is where we want to hunt so, he said come back and hunt anytime.

What a pretty day to be out even though no great oldies where found but, as usual we always have fun.

Here is the dug Wash and then the group photo of my finds.


Thanks for looking at the post and have a great week everyone.

You did well

Cut that compact open and look for coins, women stashed money everywhere!

Nice digs Mike.

Giving the child the wheatie was a nice gesture.

Here's the story of my BEST FIND EVER.:
http://www.findmall.com/read.php?19,876944,876944#msg-876944

"Metal detecting is an escape for me and allows me to find some much needed peace and solace.
Being able to clear my head...even if only for that short while...is much more meaningful than any amount of finds that end up in my pouch" "Quote ME"

some very nice finds glad you had sucha fun hunt

There is nothing in it Prodigy. I knew it as soon as it was dug. It was to light in weight and made no jingle jingle inside.
