SHORT HUNT

Got out yesterday for a brief hunt.  The weather wasn't the best - not bad temp wise but the wind was brutal.  I did mange to find a wheat penny and some clad.  The ground was soggy in places so I will hunt this area again when it dries up more.  I want to use the 15 inch coil here - lots of ground to cover.  I also used my new pinpointer - I like it a lot - works great finding coins deeper in the hole.

PINPOINTER IS HERE

My new pinpointer arrived yesterday -  now I need the rain to stop so I can get out and try it.

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.

ON THE SCORE BOARD

Well I finally found my first coins of the 2015 season.  I didn't find a lot but it was nice to get out there and swing the detector.  I now have the 15 inch coil for my AT-PRO so I will be hitting some of the old stomping grounds to see how well it works.  Now of course the weather is back to the cold and damp days but I may venture out anyway.  My haul from yesterday was some clad and 3 wheat pennies.  The printer is down - will try and get pictures later

NEW COIL ARRIVED TODAY

Finally after some problems my new 15 inch coil arrived today.   I gave it a quick try this morning - have to get use to it.   Will be out and about trying areas I've had some luck finding silver and hopefully find some deeper coins.

GAVE IT A SHOT

The weather wasn't the best but better than it had been in a while.  I went to a couple of spots but they were still buried under snow.   There are going to be some warm days this week so hopefully the snow will melt some.  Still waiting on my coil - should be the next day or  2 before it arrives.
