Virgin Site + DFX = A Hunters Dream!!!

Hello all,

I don't want to disclose any details as this site is VIRGIN! The owner informed that no one has ever asked to or has hunted this site af far as he knows. Active from mid 1890's to 1956. Church picnics, baseball games and more. All I can say is WOW! My first scouting hunt yielded 32 coins. 7 Silver, 4 Buffaloes (Gotta clean um to get the dates, 3 Indians (1903 and 2 1907's) and 18 Wheats all dated from the Teens thru the 1920's! The newest silver was a mint 1940 Merc. 1st hunt lasted just under 2 hours. I'm going back and systematically gridding the area and plan to spend my summer exclusively at this site as there is a bit of terrotory to cover.

I'm running the DFX with 10" D2 coil. All were found using Best Data - Accepting - 35 to +94, PAG 3, AC 65, DC 40. Some Wheats and dimes were at the 6" to 8"range. Most at 5" +. The deep ones would'nt even activate the Signagraph. I'd get VDI's bouncing in the 80's and dig. I'm going to set up a 3 kHz program and see how that works. More later.... Thanks for looking.

Very nice digs, andlooks like you got yourself one honey hole...Happy Hunting
 
Nice finds. Congrats !!
Looks like a great site for more oldies.
 
Congratulations for getting the authorization to hunt this outstanding site. Looks like you have a great deal of fun ahead. Keep us posted.

Jim I'm totally stoked for you ! By the time you get done with that site I imagine you and the DFX are gonna be on very good terms. I wish I could be there just to watch you work the site with the DFX in case I decide to try one out in the future. I've got some irons in the fire for some good looking spots I've discovered but I can't even hope they'll pan out to be what you've got there. Hopefully you let Tom ( Critterhunter ) out there to hunt eventually and we can see what he comes up with. Good luck and keep the pics coming.

Definetly set up a system where you can hunt the area from different angles and try not to miss what looks like a bad area as it just might surprize you..Use a smaller coil if possible and above all dig the iffies...should be a long profitable summer...
 
Boy, those are some sweet finds! If all that was yielded in just 2 hours you are in for a lot of fun. I'd be satisfied just to dig for you and if your first 2 hours is any indication of finds to come you might need someone to dig. Please keep us posted on your future hunts as this is very motivational for us still looking for a site like that one. Good Luck.
