A couple days before the rain moved in

[Neita SC]

Hey all. Was able to get out the last two days before the rain and chilly weather hit again. Found the dollar bill as soon as I hit the field. Makes ya think your are going to have a good hunt. The peace earrings are costume. Something about the kids around here....they love their "peace" jewelry. Guess the 60s are hitting again. The Canadian quarter is a 1969 which contains no silver. It wasn't until 1968 (@50%) and 1967 and prior (@90%) silver content. 'Missed it by that much' :sad: But, I walked away with $1 in paper, $5.33 in clad and a good couple days outside. I can live with that.

ps.... for the curious minds:
F5 w/stock, disc of 8, gain of 60, threshold of 5. The Canadian TIDed around 75/79

If we got $5+ in clad each time we went out........woohooo

Nice haul, the F5 is quite a machine with the seperate gain and threshold settings. A pleasure to swing!

Take care

AutoPilot42 - F5 is nice machine, especially for a beginner. I've been having a blast. TerraDigger... I have been very fortunate. Now if Fisher could only program the F5 to mind more paper money.

Donnie, This website has definitely reduce my learning curve. I took a suggestion of another member and searched all of Mike Hillis's posts. Mike is the man ref the F5. I actually collected his and other user's notes. It's jumbled quotes/entries I transfered to a Word document, but it may help ya. I will PM it to ya.
