oldies1955 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hey all:Welp, got to go out with pops today and do some detecting.Tried a new wash waaaaaaay back in! Good Lord blessed us today! This is no story....im almost embaresed to tell it.I detected a wash for about 2 1/2 hours and didnt get anything. So I decided to head back to the truck and figure out my next move. Well, as I walk back I leave the machine on and kind of scoot it along in front of me. I half heartedly ran it over a area next to where I dug up some trash and got a little sound. I kept walking saying to myself, its just more trash. Then I stopped and said to myself...this is why im out here is to dig. So I went back and got the signal again. Well, I dug up the big one and another smaller one about 2 feet away. Hit the rest of the wash area up and down really slow and no more. Went to the next wash over and found all of the small stuff.I guess the one im proudest of is the smallest one. Its .3 grams and was 3 inches deep. Could barley hear it.7.7 grams for the day! Yay!! After a few small ones I started marking the targets and let pops dig them up. That way I could keep swinging. He had fun doing that so I think that may be the way we go from now on. It was a great day with really nice weather.Tom H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver dog doug Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Great gold Tom. I think that I see a couple faces in there. A grumpy old man in the center, and a one eared drawf on the right. Keep up the good work. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
