Last couple of hunts.:fisher: F 75 LTD 2 DST

[jim tn]

We have had several days of rather nippy weather along with a dusting of snow on the weekend, but some of the days I have been braving the elements. Sat I hit one of our wooded spots and managed 7 coins in total, but 2 were silver. 1 was a 45 Merc. and the other a 46 Rosie.

This morning my buddy and I hit one of our trashy spots and both of us had on the 5" DD coil for sniffing through the trash. Pretty early in he hunt I was fortunate enough to get my coil over a 5" deep 1935 Mercury. A little while later working a little out from a utility pole I got a jumpy 70-80's reading with mostly a high tone. Dug about a 4" deep plug and the 1st target that came out of the plug was that small rivet pictured in the group shot. Swept the plug again and got a Memorial cent that time. One more swing over the plug revealed nothing, but a last swing over the hole gave me a high tone. Just off to the side of the hole wall, my pin pointer found a sterling ladies ring. Shortly after moving over to another area of the park I recovered the 925 silver cross. Right at the end of the hunt, in fact, the last target I dug, yielded me 2 wheat cents in the same hole. 1 is a 42d and the other a 44d.

The 35 Mercury this morning makes my 10th silver dime for the month of Jan. Although, 2 did come with my Omega 8500. Thanks for looking. HH jim tn

On pace for that 100 Mark and this is only January, nice finds Jim. Me and my brothers are snowed in right now but we've been making plans for our next hunt which is always fun to do.

Nice Jim, I was thinking more like 150 silvers for your goal this year.

Keep it going

Congrats. Yeah, the little 5 inch coil can sort through trash.

Well done Jim! It doesn't matter which detector you use, or where you detect, you come up with goodies....I would say that as well as knowing your detectors and how to use them well, you also apply the three "P"s, .....Perseverance, Perseverance, Perseverance. HH

Your posts have encouraged me to use the 5 inch coil more often, especially in trashy areas.
And again, congrats on your finds.

Thanks ramer and all you other fellows. The 5 x 10" DD and smaller 5" are my two favorite coils.....and not necessarily in that order. I've called the 5" a laser and it really has proven itself to be just that in heavy trash. Work it slow and check out all those marginal tic's and it will produce. Thanks again, all. HH jim tn
