...Indian. 
Went out today to a BEAT TO DEATH
old home site, a little place we call "The Barber House" that has yielded MANY a sweet find over the years. It's only been hunted about 150 times by a dozen different people with 18 or so different machines, but somehow it always yields SOMETHING. Today our hunt was cut short by rain but not before my Explorer II snagged this baby from about 10 inches deep in some pretty iron-nasty ground. After a little experimentation I found that I was actually getting better signals at greater depth at this tough-to-hunt site with my sensitivity knocked down from my normal 28 to about 24. This Indian came in with a decently repeatable 04-27 on the dual digital screen. I may try to hit it some more tomorrow if the weather permits. Monday we're heading into the woods in search of some Civil War stuff.
