Tonight was certainly the most exciting hunt to date for me. I set out at midnight with a hot coffee and no certain destination, it just had to be older houses on an older street. I was looking for it to be garbage day for the neighborhood so I would have trash trucks and curb pickers for company.
Getting weary of over hunted parks and wanting to test my theory that the distance between the curb and the sidewalks on old houses was virgin territory I was determined to deal with whatever happened for walking down one of these old city blocks I planned on getting some resistance.
Nothing happened! No one came running out at 1am in the morning to ask what the heck I was doing, no police showed up to question me. Any car that passed must have just thought I lived there. Way easier than I expected and I got THREE SILVERS Best time I've had yet as a noob Th'er. They weren't even that deep and I didn't go too far down the block. I would still be there but a horrific thunderstorm opened up on me and I had to abort and run for the truck.
I need to tweek two things before I try this again;
My MD display lit me up like a christmas tree even though it was set to the lowest setting on V3i.
The other problem is the garrett Pinpointer.
It might as well have be a siren on a quiet street (the light I need but the BEEP I don't) I either need to rig a light on my Vibra-Probe or tape the speaker... no big deal.
There is SILVER on those service ways and you can reach it from the curb if you don't want to actually walk on people's lawns... but I did get comfortable walking down the city service area at 1-2am in the morning but stepped in a big o'l pile of dog poo the only hazard.
Chief says we will do this again, and next time we crank up the gain and bring extra shoes.
Time to change my sig, and what do we call this kind of hunting? Crazy comes to mind
