I have to say I got about as many coins without it as I do using it but I really missed the old girl. A few coins eluded me for several minutes. Unheard of using a Pro-Pointer. I went with the stock coil to get super accurate pinpointing and lowered sensitivity to 6.5 where I would normally have it set around 8-9 at this site. I didn't even stop at my good silver coin site, which I drove right by, because I really need the Pro-Pointer for that style of hunting.
The Martin Van Buren dollar was a very recent drop, right on the surface. It tied my 2008 dollar coin number at a puny 13. Right at the end of the hunt I got yet another silver chain that I would not have found without the attached medal. Saint Timothy. 7.6 grams. I finally noticed it as it dangled from my hand as I rescanned the hole from where I found it for the third time. No more hunts without the Pro-Pointer. EVER!
Probably my only hunt for the week-end. Don't feel all that much like detecting for a change even though time is getting short.
