Was able to get a quick 1.5 hour hunt in this afternoon at nearby older school. I have dug a few silvers and a bunch of wheats there in the past, so that is what I was hoping for.

I got a lower signal which I ignore alot when coinshooting, since it is usually trash and I had limited time. This signal had a nice sound so I dug it. Glad I did!
Stamped 18K 6.4 grams



Next signal with same TID numbers I also dug - not as good! At least it had a $

I don't think it was an iffy signal, he said it was just a low tone.

Well I took how it was worded as an iffy signal. Its just how sometimes i Word them when u get a tone thst u usualy dont dig but something just tells u to dig anyway I call them iffy sry

Wasn't bashing ya by any means, just throwing it out there, I myself use the forums to learn etc, just tossed it out there incase you misread it or whatever

 

[christo000]

No I didnt take anything as bashing no worries bro

Hey NW is right, wasn't an iffy signal, but since gold tones fall in all over the trash range and I had limited time to hunt so I was thinking to pass it by. The sound did sound nice and "clean" if that makes sense, enough to make me dig it.

Also in context since it was older school field, I was coinshooting hoping to snag an older silver not expecting gold there. If I was beach hunting I would have definitley dug it. As you can see from my other picture, I dug something with the same TID numbers after, but didn't have as a "clean" as a sound and that is what I usually find around those TID numbers. As I see many post on here, sound first TID second.

Also I am not trying to bash either, just wanted to clarify what I meant.

HH.
