What an amazing hunt this morning. Haven’t been out much lately due to the heat and life, but got out today before the crack of 8 AM, and first target, in about 10 minutes, was a barber dime, up against a big low conductor target that made pinpointing and TID awkward. Soon another barber with a merc in the same hole, and then 2 quarters, all in under an hour. Unbelievable. I haven’t had a six pack in forever, and I wanted one today.
Next keeper dig was my 3rd quarter in a row, giving me the six pack, and then things slowed down somewhat; a few wheats then a slam dunk rosie putting me at 7.
My goal was to hunt for three hours this morning, and at about the three hour mark, I hit another deep iffy signal which is iron most of the time, but it was the 1897 barber, maybe 8 inches down.
Once I was at 8 silvers for the day, I was going for 10, even tho it was time to go home. Just something in the air today, very little EMI for some reason, and the deep iffys which always seem to be iron were silvers this time.
Hit a rosie then another deep iffy, which was the really thin barber (1899), giving me my first double digit day since 1/31/13.
I wanted to finish out the whole section I was working, but I was shot; stupid me, I forgot my water. So I just gridded out the last rank I was working and hit another deep merc on the way out.
I’ve been really thinking about getting a Nox lately, but the way this trusty E-Trac is treating me, I’m not sure. I think she is jealous
Total hunt time 3:45. I don’t think I’ve ever hit 3 silvers per hour, but I was close today.
This was about my 6th or 7th hunt at this site, usually somewhat stingy giving a silver at 1 per 1-2 hours, but one day it gave me 5 silvers. I’ll never figure this hobby out.
Thanks for looking and HH everyone.
