Hi All: Well went out yesterday with a good friend hunting over in his area,we hit a very old fairgrounds, we were a little dissappointed due to the area's lack of rain,post fair hardness of the site but we produced lots of coins. I used the 6X8 for two hours there and found it to be good on separation but not outstanding. It seems to do well and I did find wheats down to 6 plus inches deep but in all fairness the post fair ground and dryness inhibited us a bit. A good jackhammer was needed to make recoveries so we abandoned that site and went to a park, The park was clean very little trash and it produced some nice finds. I switched back to the stock coil there due to the lack of heavy trash in the area I chose to hunt in. I will use the 6X8 today in some of my favorite spots and then be able to give a better report but as of now we will leave it at that.
Now I did find a merc and a nice heart with small diamonds (6) in a heart shape on the locket,wife likes that but on one did I thought I had hit silver dollar two for the year but not to be. I did find something a bit different though and at 4" deep standing on edge it made the heart pump a little faster. Old Ron Reagan commem. Now I guess since it read 08/9-48/49
on my E-tac and on Ray's Exterra 44 we call it a silver, I got on line and checked it out and is says it is richly layered with silfver so is it a full silver or a half? Whatever was fun to find and found another heart shaped item,funny how certain days end up themed for me,hearts to my sweetheart day she has em both and grinned a bit.I picked up 3 bucks plus in clad,pennies and such,lots of chrome parts from the demo derby,small chromed pieces read close to silver and I did notice some response changes using the 6x8 SEF again,lowered numbers on dimes and quarters again. Well take care all and Drodda the hunt is on.
hardrock P.S. The commem coin is called Ronald Reagan Double Eagle,found lots out about them on line. Hardrock
