First hunt this year...

[sgoss66]

Aside from a quick hour or so at a local park last Friday, to make sure my gear was all in order, Saturday was the first real hunt for 2019. In fact, I've been so busy, that it was the first hunt in several months! It was great to get out, on a gorgeous day, and it was nice to make a few finds -- to prove to myself that despite the layoff, I didn't forget how to use my Equinox!

Nice Steve - A wide assortment of coins there.

It is ALWAYS nice to get out after a long hiatus and swing the coil. Even better when some old coins show up under the coil.

Aaron --

THANKS!

Kapok --

It was a couple of hours at 3 new sites -- a small 1930s church yard, an adjacent residential lot where the house burned down, and then grassy areas around an old high school.

Laplander --

LOL! Thanks! The answer to your "D" question is -- we'll never know. Here's why...

Nice digs Steve! You need to keep up that slipping out of factory every few months. LOL

Joe --

LOL! I know, right?

You warned me a long time ago not to let the shaft-building get in the way of actual detecting...

You were very prescient!
