very hard soil gives up silver

[gunwolf]

got out to a local park yesterday morning for about a 3 hour hunt. Ground was very dry and digging was almost impossible. I was trying out a few new things with the E-trac, I tried that channel 11 thing but found no difference.
then I went back in the stock coin program and I did not look at my FE/CO numbers at all...I went strictly by sound and depth. I did dig alot more trash this way, but I really learned alot more about my tones.
4 wheats, 1 IH, 2 old canadian pennies, and a 1950 silver washington. the silver I almost did not dig, the high pitch tone was only from one way...but was so clear I had to see what was there at 6". I'm glad I dug.

WELL DONE

I have tried the tone and no number thing for short periods of time but prefer to see numbers and use the tones when deciding to dig (DUH)

yeh I have been practicing listening to the tones, and this was just an experiment for me to help tone my tones! I am fairly confident I am learning the difference between rusty iron and a good target, but them pulltabs come in at 12-36to39 the same as some keepers I found. I still don't know how a modern pulltab gets down 6" and I am pulling wheats 5 ft away at 6"? Hope your trip went well Eva...talk to ya soon.

Congrats on your nice finds. I always dig those 1 way good signals specially if the area is extremely trashy. Those are the ones that everyone else will pass up.
