trinityau Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hello all, I met up with SGH and his brother today and we took a walk through the woods to check out an area. The ground was not what I was looking for and we returned to a spot we have been detecting. I was using my 3000 with Sadie and SGH and his brother were using GB Pro's. We had been hunting almost two hours with no results when I got a real subtle signal. After scraping about five inches of leaves and grass off the surface and making another swing the signal was still there. The signal was still weak but solid so I continued to scrape off the top soil about five inches. Swinging again the target gave a more audible sound. I opened the hole up a bit on the sides and took the now gritty soil down till I hit bedrock and clay. Sticking the Sadie in the hole gave me that wonderful signal I love to hear. I used the pointy end of the pick to loosen up the bottom where the clay was and then pulled the material out. I went over the hole and there was no signal, it was in the pile. The guys were watching as I waved the coil over the pile a few times, I love that sound. I picked up a handful of soil and waved it over the coil and had it in my hand. Using my finger to move the dirt around I could see the nugget. The piece was a bit over an inch long. I figured about four penny weight.After recovering I went back to detecting and within just a minute or so I had another signal, this one was a screamer. Four inches down and right where the topsoil hit the gritty clay like material was another nugget lying in the dirt. We went back to detecting and SGH hollered at me that he had just found a small piece. A few minutes later I was trying to find some quiet targets for the brothers to dig. I found a few but they ended up being lead/trash. We all moved down a ways and began hunting again and right away I got a solid signal. One more nugget for the poke. After an hour I had to call it quits for the day and we all headed out.The actual weight on the big one turned out to 7.26 grams, for Shep, 4.67 penny weight. The other two were 1.37 grams and .55 grams. Again, for Shep thats .88 penny weight and .35 penny. Thanks for looking, TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinityau Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Thanks all, the temps have been in the mid-twenties for low's and the high's have been moving up a bit each day. Yesterday the temp was about 55 degrees. I actually took my outer shirt off and tied it around my waist. By next week it is suppose to be back in the mid-sixties. Summer is just around the corner, LOL TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
