Needed a December SILVER FIX before the ground freezes!:bouncy:

Well I thought I would get in one more hunt before the ground totally freezes on me. Sunday morning it was 60 degrees so I decided I would definately hunt right after lunch. Well by noon it was down to 40 degrees and by the time I ate lunch...down to 37 degrees! Then the rain came so NO hunting. Finally decided today that I would blow off my training appointments one last time before the super busy season hits me at the ymca. :bouncy:
It was very cold and also windy but you all know how it is. I wanted to hunt ...so nothing short of sleet or rain was going to stop me. I got close to 4 hours in before I just couldn't take the cold any more. I would have been very happy to end the season with just one more silver ....and trust me...I wouldn't have quit until I got one. :super:
Well I ended up with four more along with 2 more injuns and 10 wheaties...so maybe I can sleep in peace over the long winter months. The merc is a 1919 and one of the injuns is a 1902. The other injun I'm not sure of.
Used a combo of the 6" Excelerator coil and the Minelab 1050 coil.

Bryce,

Last night I started cleaning clad and tallying up the year totals. Usually when I do this before Jan.1 we get a late December thaw that allows me to find a few more coins and screw up my totals. That is what I am hoping for. Looking at the weather forcast and the snow on the ground it might be a long shot.

I am looking foward to this summer,I hope you can make a road trip and we can hunt,If posible we can come your way to.My goal is to find civil war relic or Roman coins and last but least a pot of gold.Great finds and good luck on your next hunt.
 
GLAD TO SEE THAT 1050 COIL IS WORKING SO GOOD FOR YOU...NICE JOB.
 
[size=medium][/size]You'll be out there in parka with pick ax, M-80's and shovel in hand Bryce. If you don't get out this winter Bryce, I'll see you on A&E television intervention programs. I suspect I'll be reading about Effingham, IL. opening a 1,000 acre indoor metal detecting range this winter :shrug: Hell, I'm going to watch the Chineese Olympics to see if you succeeded in making metal detecting an Olympic Sport :clapping:I'll be watching your progress in the YMCA metal detectorist finals for top seed finalists :detecting:

Your Buddy...
 
You did well again for 4 Hours of hunting. Any good date Wheat's? Hope your Silver Fix holds out until Spring. Time for some Research and a nice glance back at your total finds for the year. You did well and I hope it continues in 2008. Good Luck and HH!:super:
 
the injuns is is unreadable...but that's okay. I found some goodies. I don't think I had very good totals for the year because I spent the first 6 months with an unstable machine and coil. The last 6 months I did very well though...especially for averaging only 1 hunt per week which lasted only 2 or 3 hours.
Good luck on the research
 
RIGHT as can be...I'll find a way to chisel out another coin or 2 if I can...even in the snow:biggrin:
I can't wait til next year so you and I can get some more hunt time in. I'm also lookin' forward to another one of those ham&egg breakfast sandwiches you made!!:clap:
 
I don't think you're done for the year. We'll get a thaw and I know you'll be back out & so will I. HH Ken
