Got out with forum members and digging friends digger70pa and beastdigs to hunt some Gettysburg retreat route sites and we all did good and had a lot of fun. Highlight for me was a cherry CS script I button. Also got some button backs, a couple of flat buttons, and 1860 fattie IH penny, a 2 piece flower button right on top the ground in a cornfield (see if you can spot it in the pic) and a big ole pile of CW lead. I am truly blessed to have met and have friends like these guys. Hope you guys continue to "tear it up" this spring. At one site we encountered what must be bad ground...the ground balance on the G2 with the Ultimate coil was 50-51 and I ground balanced about 10 times during the 3 hour hunt. The Ultimate coil always ground balances about 15-20 points lower than the stock 11" coil, so that would make the ground balance with stock coil around 70 which is creeping up into slightly bad ground range....but not blood red Culpepper bad. Could also have been because the site is a cornfield and maybe plowing unpsets the "halo"? Standard 58 cal minies in here would only read "correct" TID numbers 0f 77-79 if the bullet was down to 3", below that the number were dropping down into 50-60 range with a corresponding increase in the occasional iron tone. Below 7"....only iron tones. Dug 2 minies at 7-8" that were giving ONLY iron tones, but the iron audio was "different" than actual iron signal....more soft and "round" and the pinpoint would be "tight". Bill
