So today I had a late start...I was trying to decide where I wanted to unleash the T2. I've been wanting to locate a site that has apparantly been hiding right under my nose for a couple years now. So I drive out to my normal parking spot and realize that there is a half a foot of snow on all my sites.....and to be honest....i just didn't feel like cross country skiing. "what to do what to do" EUREKA! I've had a field site on stand by now for quite awhile...I retrieved permission and tried it with the prizm but the grass was so high my machine fasled every step so I gave up quickly. This site is one of the main reasons I decided to purchase a new machine. The final straw that broke the camels back. So driving down the road I was pleased to see the landowners vehicles parked in the driveway....pulling up I was greated by a barking dog and 2 of the sons wrenching on a broken plow. I told them who I was and they recalled me being in the field before and said "have a ball". There was snow here to which was actually to my advantage, it pushed all the grass further down to the ground. I turned my machine on, hit the settings, ground balanced and started swinging.....automatically signals were blaring...alot of iron but I isolated a button within the first 5 minutes....this was a GREAT sign. The rest of the hunt was nothing short of exciting. It seemed that each signal I dug was either a button or coin. The coppers were all dug simultaneosly. This was awesome. The coppers ended up being...1798 Draped Bust, Fugio Cent, 1724 King George I, and another shot King George I (no date). These were all dug in about 20 minutes. So after my heart slowed down and a couple buttons and broken shoe buckle later I located an awesome solid 92 at 8 inches deep. I knew this was something special, it was such a bright signal and very small when pinpointing. Seeing the shine of silver after diggin 4 early coppers is hard to describe. At first I thought old merc or barber was gonna tease me, but WALLAH....HISPAN was the first thing i seen....1781 reale..Very exciting little peice of silver. Today was a memorable day and hopefully just the beggining of a very productive site. Thanks for lookin folks!
