Hi everyone,
Had to test the Ace out just one more time. Make sure it was good and not just luck.
I went out alone today to one of my old parks I like to hunt.
I decided to find area's I haven't pounded with my dfx. If there's trash there is still treasure to be found.
About 15 minutes or less into the hunt I dug a wheatie. I stayed in the same area on a bluff and continued to hunt.
Picked up alot of tabs in between but I am trying to learn the machine and not miss anything either.
As I got to the top of the bluff I got a nice quarter signal at the bas of a big tree. Locked on it said 4 inches down.
Dug down and found a really nice 1908 barber quarter in e.f condition I would say.
I didn't want to clean it because it was in nice shape. Just a rince with soap and water for this one.
My book list it at 70.00 in e.f. And 32.00 in v.f. It's easily a 50.00 coin. Nice to find things worth something. I don't sell anything.
It was 90 out today so I only hunted for about 1 hr and 45 minutes.
I continued to hunt near a small creek in the woods. Kids loved to play around them back in the day.
I got a decent pulltab screw cap signal near a large tree base. I dug down and found a Indian. Rim was completely gone but hey it's a Indian. Most from these woods are in terrible shape from the tree's and acidy ground.
I rechecked the hole and found another right on the surface in the loose dirt from the same hole. I filled it in stepped not 6 inches to sweep.
I got the same signal dug down found another then another. 4 Indians in one little pocket.
The dates were 1 1879 1 1897 1 1892 and 1 1881. All in the worst shape you could imagine.
Tomorrow I will give the ace to my dad. Teach him how to use it and hope we have a good time together hunting.
My hat is off to Garrett's for making a low end machine that performs so well.
Thanks for looking,
HH Jer
