Howdy,
I got out tonight following a couple days of rain. The mosquitoes are out too, I might add. Rather than try to find new ground, I opted to hit a place I'd had some success at last year, but try it with the Excelerator coil this time. I thought maybe the extra rain would help bring out some signals, and there were a few really signal rich areas I wanted to try, to see if the small coil could bob and weave among them.
I was rewarded with two Mercs (not far from each other), but one apparently some time in a gravel drive or parking area, because it's a bit scratched up. The other one came out looking crisp, so must have been dropped not too long into circulation.
Also found a '41 Jefferson nickel and a couple 40's Wheats.
Pretty fun hunt (despite gassing up on bug spray).

I'm over here across the mountains camping and haven't been out detecting yet, but maybe tomorrow I will give it a try. HH.
