MORNING HUNT LEADS TO SILVER

I went back to my hot spot with my new toy and managed to find silver.  Also found 2 wheat pennies and some clad.  I'm starting to get use reading the screen and listening for the tone.  I had some high 90 readings but they were all nails.  My quarter reading was between 83 and 85.  I need to get out some more and practice on some ground that doesn't have as much trash.

HEAT WAVE

Going to be in the 90's again today - just too hot to get out and detect.  May get a chance Saturday morning - it's going to have to be early.  Really can't complain about the heat - it won't be much longer and that white stuff will be flying around.

WEEKEND HUNTS

Saturday I went to my hot spot - again it didn't disappoint.  I manage a couple of silver dimes and my best wheat day ever finding 27.  I found them in about a 3x3 radius thinking that some kind of game was there.  They use to hold field days there in the past.  Also got some clad and my new detector arrived - a white's V3X. 

Sunday I went to a school where I've had good luck with the silver using my new V3X.  I put it on deep silver mode - just found the clad quarter and ET.  So I went back to the hot spot and use both deep silver and coin mode and found another silver dime and clad one.  I wasn't getting a ton of hits until I adjusted the ground balance.  I will have to do that more often and then I watched some video's and made adjustments to the detector.  Now all I have to do is turn it on and go.
