Hunting Alone With The F75

[miserman]

With the stay at home order in effect in my area I have not been out for a while. Yesterday I decided that going out to metal detect qualified as getting exercise. Not wanting to offend anyone, I drove to an abandoned church that was out in the country with nothing but farm fields around it. I had hunted this small church yard twice in the past and had been able to find 3 silver dimes along with several Wheat Cents. I elected to put the Nel 12" X 13" Tornado coil on the F75 and hunt the area at a 90 degree pattern from the previous 2 hunts. My first target was the Mercury Dime that was next to a piece of iron. The numbers were all over the place but I kept getting a few 66-73 numbers mixed in with the lower iron numbers that were trying to hit around 8-10. I'm not sure if the larger Nel coil helped me or hurt me in this situation. I'm thinking I missed the dime on the last two hunts because the sweep angle was from a different direction this time. After 4 hours of slowly hunting this small area , I was also able to dig 2 Jeffersons from the 40's and 5 Wheats. 3 of the Wheats were from the teens that were 6-7 inches deep and gave low 60's VDI readings. I was glad to get out again and was grateful to find a few coins.....Thanks for looking

Mis, that's a good day in a new hunting area, in one that's already been hunted, that's fantastic!
Maybe worth giving another lap.

Glad you got out and able to find a few goodies. Detecting is one thing we can still do and not be around others. HH jim tn

I'm in Michigan, and out getting exercise while social distancing is my excuse to be metal detecting under our relatively strict govenor's orders.
