Hello American Detectorist!
Please forgive me. It has been ages since I made a post. In fact I have only been out hunting about 7 or 8 times this year. For just a few hunts I have done very well on the Silver, especially over on the western slope of Colorado where we have traveled 5 Times so far this year. We come here to see family, and to relax for a long weekend. I always bring my E-Trac along, and so far I have picked up around 30 Silvers this year total. I am very thankful for the little time I have to hunt these days, and it does give me very much needed relaxation, and rest. Metal detecting is truly a great hobby.
This trip found me in a new hunting location just a few blocks from where we are staying with Family. This location was an old park that I have always wanted to hunt. I had a few hours first thing in the morning to give it a shot. A quick cup of coffee, and I was out the door. I drove up to the park, and all was quiet. I was about 30 minutes into the hunt when I received a very clean quarter hit! Upon seeing the depth indicator on the E-trac bouncing at 8 to 10 inches I got very excited. It pinpointed lightly, just right for a deep coin! I cut the plug, and folded it back carefully. I first pinpointed a small piece of folded over pull tab, a few scoops of dirt, and my pin-pointer reveled a large Silver coin...
Here is a few shots from the dig...
I managed 4 more Wheat Pennies, and then I was out of time for the day, and due back at the house to go out to lunch. A short hunt, and very reminiscent of my year so far... Not a lot of time to hunt, but quality time at that.
Keep Swing'in
