nice morning hunt with the wife

[beerguy]

I was heading out for my usual hunt this morning, when my wife said that she wanted to come along.

This means that I spend half my time hunting and the other half digging her targets. Oh well.

She did find a neat piece of jewelry, maybe an earring.


I managed an older wheatie, a 1947 nickel and a 1917 Merc. I found an 1917 merc at this same site a few weeks back, but this one is an S variety.


As usual for this site, the silver is covered in corrosion. Since it is not a key date, I will be cleaning her up for display.

I actually learned something when I found the dime. I have been hunting in Auto +3 sens in this area. This time I was in Manual 27 when I found this signal. Switched to auto and it was set at 17. I did not hear it at all in auto. Note to self, manual only on the CTX when I am looking for deep targets. This area has been hunted many times by many people. I have been over it as well, so lesson learned.

Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting to all.

So in keeping with standard protocol, do you get to keep the neat stuff SHE finds?

It is always nice to find coins

No way! She finds it and keeps it!

She does not go often, but it is always nice to have some company once in a while.

She used the SST today, pretty neat machine. All metal, tone ID so only 1 control. She loves it!

Indeed. This site has given up quite a bit of silver.

Now that it is raining again here, the ground is much more forgiving. Easier to dig, and better signal response.

Your wife knows how to search, she will win the best pieces

Sure you have to let her find some stuff. But only some...
