the silver again.Another beautiful day in southwestern lower mich.Started out with a heavy frost but the sun assured me it would soon be gone! Been eye balling this old golf course east of the zoo,tried to get in fri. but the maints.crew was still blowing water lines out for the winter.Went back sat.a.m. and all was peaceful.Started out in de mode,with sens. 80disc.6 3h tones,within a few minutes got a good hit lower 70's dug up a 1912 wheat,then a 1940 wheat,this always gets me stronger at my game,so I went to bp mode 80 sens 0 disc.and 4h tones,which I very seldomly use.Got a stroung mid 70's tid with some falsing,dug it any way,out popped the 1940 merc.nice I thought,this is what its all about!! Wandered around for awhile then bang, solid 90 no bouncing or falsing,darn sure going to dig this,stuck my lesche in the ground took out about 4 in. of dirt,and I could see a hint of silver,popped it out of the ground and there set my first walker half 1928 what a rush!!!!!!! hh rick in mi.

Now that is some great digging, Rick. Congrats on your first Walker. They are one beautiful looking coin when just coming out of the dirt. Hope you have enough window left to get a few more hunts in before your area turns to tundra. HH jim tn

Hey Terry,I was experimenting with the 4h tones and 0 disc.and man it was hitting targets real deep.I dug up an old bottle opener that was a good 10" deep.I am sure it would have picked it up deeper cause before I dug it I lifted the coil off the ground and it still hit an extra 3" or sh I also threw that walker back to apease the silver gods ..hh rick in mi.
