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.

HOT SPOT STILL GIVING SILVER
I went to my hot spot to see if I could hunt it - the ground is still very soft but not wet. So I gave it a shot - was finding wheat penny after wheat penny - some memorials got mixed in and then found a mercury dime. I only hunted about an hour because of the heat and the bugs. I hope it dries a little more over night - will be hitting again Saturday morning. Only found 2 clad and 1 canadian penny - the rest were the wheat pennies and dime. I don't mind hunts like this at all - more of the old stuff than the new.

V3X ON THE WAY
I sold my DFX to a friend and now I have found a great deal on a V3X machine which I just purchased and will be receiving on Saturday. Can't wait.

UPDATE ON RING
As luck would have it - the ring is gold PLATED. Which means it's worth nothing. I can't catch a break. I'll have to keep searching - I hope there is a gold ring with my name on it. So close yet so far.

WEEKEND HUNTS NET SILVER AND ALMOST 1ST GOLD RING
Well Saturday we headed up north to my family reunion and as usual my Uncle, brother, son and cousin all did the traditional round of golf while I grabbed my detector and went to the local school. I was expecting soft ground but was surprised that the ground was dryer than I thought. The digging wasn't impossible but a lot tougher than here at home. I did manage a wheat penny and silver ring - which I gave to my niece - and clad. And we ate a ton of food and saw family so it was a great day.
Sunday I went to check my hot spot - it was pretty wet so I met D at a park. There were some puddles but we had enough area to detect. I did find a silver quarter, couple of wheat pennies and a ring which I'm not sure if it's gold. Just my luck - can't find the real thing. 14K is in the ring BUT it has a fraction in front of it. I will take it to a friend of mine that deals with buying gold but I can hear it now - IT'S NOT REAL. Overall not a bad weekend finding 2 rings.

4TH OF JULY HUNT AND....
Got out this morning with T and K and we hit a park with an old closed swimming hole. There are lots of trails through the woods and this would be a great spot in the fall. I did manage a mercury dime and wheat penny. It was hot - we all were sweating like crazy. After a couple of hours we met up and decided to try a spot K knew - his uncle's house built back in the 1840's. I never have good luck at this places and today proved no different. I did find a wheat penny but T found a 1834 large cent. That got us motivated to try and some some old silver - not. Still looking for that elusive seated liberty - maybe next time. I got my last few hunts together - hoping this weekend to hit the hot spot if the ground has dried some.
