Went back to my hot spot and met T there. This is my first real hunt that I did not find a silver coin. I hunted a couple of hours - just some wheats and clad. T found no silver either. I hope the spot isn't drying up. There is a field yet that needs to be detected - an old ball diamond use to be there with a wooded back stop. Can't wait to try that in the fall. Will post findings later.

FOUND FIRST EVER BEN FRANKLIN HALF
The hot spot is still giving up silver - today I found my first ever Ben Franklin half dollar. Was about 5 inches down and read between 89 -90. Thought it might be a nail again but decided to dig it - glad I did. Also found 5 wheat pennies and just over a buck in clad. It's getting harder to find silver now - but I know it's still there.

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.

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.
