Tried a special hunt today. I was pleased with results.

[WHADIFIND]

I went back to where I found my last silver quarter and tried something.

I planned on ONLY digging signals that I figured were possible AND
ONLY if they were 6 inches or deeper!

I was only out for a short time as this was just an experiment.
Did pretty fair. But, I'll get to that in a sec.

First, I'd like to ask you all what you would think if you came up on something
like this?



A hornet's nest?
A hummingbird's nest?
Somebody had their brains knocked out of 'em?

Nope....



Near as I can tell, it's a 'shroom! LOL
Biggest I've ever seen! LOL



It had a couple friends too.

Ok, so back to the hunt:

I didn't find very much, but I skipped all the gold rings this time.
Wanted to see how this technique worked on deeper targets.





Never get used to it and never tire of seeing it!



Another one! Not quite in as good shape as the other but still!




A whole wheat toast & a button.
If you look close, you can see what looks like a
little gold in some of the corners. Blazer button? Other?



A lil less for wear but still with a full date.



'43 P silver nickle



All in all, a fairly successful experiment, even if I do say so my own self! LOL

Thanks for peeking!

Nice finds and puffball mushrooms, I've found them as big as soccer balls. Conducted my own experiment with them and made a grand selling the spores one year. Treasure is what you make it.

You certainly are learning what all those controls can do!
Nicely done! Congrats!

I think you may have lost claim to the large silver....unless its already in your pocket. :sly:
Fishy has an auto part for his ever growing collection.

Nice nickle save!
I would have to grid a small area to try the no disc. Not sure how well it would work on the field i hunt which has large buried iron chunks, but one of these days i may try it.

I was going to say you must have had a good amount of rain for large mushrooms like those.
I leave them alone cause i'm not sure which ones are the eating kind.

Great post I see a lot of huge mushrooms on my hunt and I found a bees nest and I knew it stung 3 to 4 times it was in the ground I hunt like that when I have limited time also with my AT there is a slightly higher pitch with silver I have practiced at home with clad and silver. It takes a while but I can usually tell Great post and Thanks for always posting they are fun to read and winters coming I depend on others posts its not the same as hunting but it gets me through Nice finds!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! Silver "streaks" come and they go. But, what I'm gaining in experience on my machine is priceless, (to me & no, Jeff! I didn't say it was worthless! )

As far as my settings go, KyDigNQueen, I'm almost always running my ATP wide open and with a full charge. No discrimination, full sensitivity, iron audio on.

Cool! I started running mine on no discrimination a while back. Kywonder thought I was crazy but I told him that's how I probably ound the war nickel. It was dry and the signals weren't good so I decided to keep the sensitivity all the way up and discrimination on zero. You get used to the chatter after awhile. I tried that on the beach but finally went to 10 on discrimination due to all the chatter and due to the minerals in the sand i had to go down a notch on my sensitivity. Thanks for the great, detailed reply! Keep pulling the good stuff!
