Silver from bone dry ground

[born2hunt]

My pal Charlie and I hit a nice old park today but the ground was very dry which made the SE a little chatty but I did manage a few clads and the only silver between us. Charlie actually beat me on dates with a 1912 wheatie.

Nice finds. As the ground gets drier you tend to get more ground EMI, both heard and unheard. Ive noticed that in spots i hunt... it tends to increase.

It seems to me on my etrac when the ground is dry my machine runs a lot quieter, and silver just screams out, is the explorer different?

Goes4ever, no i think you are correct about the chatter being less during the dry months especially from mineralization. I was referring to some locations i can hunt in the spring and fall.... but during the summer there is so much EMI that i cant even hunt the area. Its not as much about the moisture perhaps as it is the increased electrical use from underground cables.

ok that makes more sense, I misunderstood what you were referring too

NP.... sometimes it just hard to get my fingers to type what my brain means

dry ground makes the rusty iron less noisy, and the silver is easier to distinguish
