Hello My Friends!
Hope you're having a great day so far!!

My silver streak of 8 consecutive hunts with my new SE coil remains alive! :thumbsup: I couldn't figure out which park to go to today, so I thought I would just stay local, but changed my mind at the last minute to head to the park where I've recovered the most silver at so far this year. I'm glad I made that last minute decision. I only had about 3 hours to hunt, and I made the most of it, scoring 2 Washingtons within the first 1.5 hrs of the hunt. Each quarter was about 7-8" below the surface in heavy trash. The '52 is an absolute gem. Beautiful coin, with no visible wear at all. The deepest coin of the day was a '64 Rosie, which was about 9.5". I could barely hear the whisper of this coin. Many times, I heard just the threshold of my machine as I passed over this signal. A few times, I caught the sweet high tone of a deep high conductor. I was glad that the Pro coil could go that deep in a trash area to get that silver coin. ::) I rounded the day with a '47 Rosie and an '18 D Merc (I thought it was a '16 D when I first glanced at it... blink.gif ), along with only 6 wheaties. The 4 Gigabyte SansDisk was just laying on the ground, and works fine on my computer. It is full of Erotic pictures... :o ...Just kidding.....but it does have a lot of pictures on it. The person who lost it must have been a photographer. No names. Just people, landscapes, and art work.

I'm really happy about the way the day turned out for me. I'm nearing my 200 silver coin milestone this year, and hope to surpass it in the next hunt or so.

Thanks for looking, and stay hydrated as much as you can if you're hunting out there. I have to really cherry pick my signals, because it's a lot of work recovering these deep coins from the hardened ground during the Summer months.

You are my idol to metal detecting hobby! You find so much silver and other goodies like wheat pennies and Indian head pennies. I someday hope to find silver and more then one wheat per hunt. Good luck on your next hunt! I hope it is a good one! Maybe one of these days you will reach that Gold coin that everyone dreams about! :thumbsup:
 

WTG Dan, beautiful silver :thumbsup:. I sort of got stuck on demos and homesteads, got to hit one of those parks, may be early in the morning on the hill side at LP :icon_profileleft::icon_scratch::icon_profileright:.

Thanks for sharing Capt :icon_king:.

Thanks, Jack! Yes, pick up the new coil if you just bought one of the original SE's. As soon as my film producer/editor extraordinaire (Jon(goldenapples)) can get a day off of work, we'll be posting more videos for your enjoyment.

Another great hunt Silver Squeezer!!! thumbsup

Thanks, Doug. Yeah, I was expecting at least one cut silver yesterday, but it wasn't meant to be.

Thanks, Lloyd. Good luck to you! How are those gloves working for you?

Thanks, DF. Keep pounding the turf. You'll get better at the techniques needed to find the deeper coins the more time you spend in the turf with your machine.

WTG Dan, beautiful silver thumbsup. I sort of got stuck on demos and homesteads, got to hit one of those parks, may be early in the morning on the hill side at LP icon_profilelefticon_scratchicon_profileright.

Thanks for sharing Capt icon_king.

Thanks, Anthony. Good luck in the turf. That hillside at LP has been worked pretty hard by the whole S. CA Explorer crew, but I bet there's a little more there hiding.

Thanks again, everyone.

Thats a great day indeed.I love the shape of that Washington .8-9 inch targets eh....Thats deep.I average 2-6 with my Ace 250 on most targets.Maybe i should try the sniper coil for a while.

Thanks, Scrapdoggie!! The Ace 250 is an entry/intermediate level machine. At 6" you should be able to make some great finds. I think you might be able to punch deeper with a different coil. I've dug many of my good finds between 6-8". Target separation is key also. Many of my finds are next to trashy signals (aluminum, tabs, foil, bottle caps, iron, etc.).
