Hey All,
It was snowing, wind gusts to 50 mph. I could notice the ground freezing as the sun set but put on the LED headlight and kept at it until I had a pouch full. Left with ruddy cheeks and stiff fingers.
Really not a very fun day for detecting but tried a site I've had permission for since this spring and finally gave it a whirl. Huge site and have barely touched it.
Nothing spectacular for today's finds but it did put me over my first year finds for silver.
Got ten today for YTD total of 165. I did 163 first year with the explorer. 98 last year. Better than 10% seated ratio last two years.
Best year for all types of nickels, barbers, seated, indian heads. Haven't counted the wheats but suspect they will also be a best. Less large cents than last year and no flying eagles or three centers. Tied record for gold coins: zero, but feel I'm flirting with the high zeros.
I've been tumbling clad. More silver dimes than clad, wish I could say the same about quarters.
I am not disappointed with my purchase of the minelab explorer.
Weather looks iffy, may get a few more days until freeze up. There were several months this summer too dry to detect so I suspect a better year could happen.
Thanks for looking everyone.
