NEW PINPOINTER ON THE WAY


I ordered the new waterproof pinpointer from Garrett and it should arrive by the end of the week.   have a water detector and plan on going in the water this year - might as well have the pinpointer to go along with it.  Plus this time of year when the ground is wet and muddy all I have to do is wash it off under a faucet or hose instead of cleaning it with a rag.

FIRST SILVER OF THE YEAR - HAPPY EASTER



I went back to the same spot as Friday - still trying to get use to the 15 inch coil  - and I found my first silver coin of the year.  A 1939 mercury dime about 6 inches down and clad.  I'm learning that I need to swing the detector closer to my body - can't extend my arms.   Also wish everyone a very Happy Easter.
