First Half Dime

[rick67]

Found my first half dime 1853.



Found a Large to today. The face is burnt.


Another first is this Crotal Bell.


Ave. Maria


The ticks were terrible at this site. I'll have to go back when it's colder.

why settle for a whole________when you can bag a HALF now be brave and take that ATPro up one more notch!! I run wide open to hear every whisper of a hit. if you tape the coil wire up the top of shaft then loop slack at the head--the Pro will false less and depth will get better. (bumping a clump will still give a false). spray up with DEET and get back for the rest---1700's are waiting_____________________

I do all that.
Yesterday I had clusters of up to 10 at a time on my pants and that's with using Deet.

80-81 like a dime but scratchy, 8-10". Lots of iron around so the VDI bounces around but if there's enough repeatable numbers I like, I dig. Never realized they made some smaller in diameter then a dime. First thought was a half Reale but even that's bigger.
