Quattro Brings Home The Bacon!

<STRONG>I went out hunting today with two buds, Harry and Ned. We hit an old farm field in Deep Creek, Virginia in an area with some Civil War history. We made a few nice coin and bullet finds there and then we went out to Suffolk, Virginia to some woods in an area that had a lot of Civil War action. We've hunted there before and pulled some bullets, buttons, and coins and we did it again today. The weather was great, the hunting good, and the targets fairly plentiful, so it was a good day. I was using my Quattro with the 12.5" coil at first and then switched to the FBS 1050 for the 2nd half of the hunt. Both performed admirably, as did the Quattro. Ned and Harry were using their Fisher CZ's and both of them found some nice stuff. I took a few pictures.</STRONG>
<STRONG>This is the first spot we hit and here's Ned with his CZ...</STRONG>

<STRONG>This was my first target recovery...an 1891 Injun.</STRONG>
<img src="http://members.cox.net/nodesurfer/sat2.jpg" alt="" />
<STRONG>Then the first of five of these 3-ringers...</STRONG>
<img src="http://members.cox.net/nodesurfer/sat3.jpg" alt="" />
<STRONG>Next up was this baby...</STRONG>

<STRONG>Harry and Ned at a fresh-scrape we found on the way to the woods...Ned and I both scored nice buttons here.</STRONG><img src="http://members.cox.net/nodesurfer/sat5.jpg" alt="" />
<STRONG>In the woods, Harry recovering a 3-ringer minnieball...</STRONG><img src="http://members.cox.net/nodesurfer/sat6.jpg" alt="" />
<STRONG>The Quattro takes a breather and digs the scenery...</STRONG>

<STRONG>These are my finds. Note the absolutely <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">NASTY</FONT> V-nickel in the right corner...6 inches down and a solid 14 signal on the Quattro. Too bad it's toast. The Eagle button and the Barber dime were my two best finds of the day. The 3-ringer in the center of the buckle looks to have been chewed.</STRONG>

<STRONG>And finally, check this button that Ned dug. Anybody recognize it? I'll post it on the Relic Forum too. HH!</STRONG>
 
Great finds and pics! You've brightened my snow-showered day up. Can't wait for the thaw up here in PA! <img src="/metal/html/tongue.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":b">

Mike indeed nice finds..Simple equation excellent machines and above all excellent operators brings home the bacon..Nice trip and sure some nice pictures. Our ground is all white and hopefullly in near future it will come back to its natural color.
 
Please tell the model of the camera used <img src="/metal/html/confused.gif" border=0 width=15 height=22 alt=":?"> Very nice pictures!
Thanks! HH
 
Thanks Doc. The camera is a Fuji Finepix A303 3.2 megapixel. I've been real happy with it and I love how well it does close-ups. Click the link on the bottom for a review. The review shows it being $299 but that's an old review. I got mine for $179 I think and my sister later got one for about $145 if I remember, due to some rebates.
I believe the replacement model is the A340 and it's a 4.0 megapixel and similar design, so should be even better. I found one on <STRONG>www.pricewatch.com</STRONG> for as low as $154.
 
Thanks Mike!
I have Fuji Finepix A310 and it is not so good as yours because has ISO starting from 200 and yours has 100 so your pictures are very sharp. Mine is great for nearby pictures but not so sharp in long distances.
Good Luck and HH!
