Hunting Conditions

It seemed I was on a roll there for awhile in the old park this winter during a couple of huntable mild weekends. There is no doubt in my mind, as I have proven to myself over and over again, moisture in the ground is key to finding deep coins. I found the pictured (hopefully) coins in about five hours of detecting (not counting clad). The ground had a decent amount of moisture and/or were bordering on freezing. Last Saturday for better than four hours I scoured this old park and for my efforts, only found a .69 caliber three ring civil war drop bullett and one lousy 1941 wheat cent :cry:
We are having a record drought here and the ground is almost powder dry. Well, I put on the ole "WOT coil", and we'll see if it helps come this Saturday. I heard this some where before? A bad day metal detecting is better than the best day at work! P.S. the half dollars are the first old half dollars I have ever found. I found them both within 10 minutes of each other and three steps apart, with the Barber quarter in the same hole as one of them. I went back and rechecked the hole, DAH! Let's have some fun...

WAY TO GO!!! It's too bad that I wasn't where you are, I would show you where the rest of the good finds are. Rick(ND), does that sound about right? Just kidding! Nice finds and hope you find many more this saturday and wish I could be doing the same. HH:thumbup:
 
Nice pile of Barbers and Merc's along with the Indians. Looking forward to your Sat. hunt with the WOT and your results using it. I know your right in the ground conditions being wet. I seem to get better results also.
 
Between you and Tim you must have a 6 sense as you can walk right up to the only coin in a block with in the first 5 minnutes.
Maybe your luck will change this year!!Maybe you will even do better, but I need to do the tune up for you.
