Headed out this morning around 6, still only 30 degrees out... but I was bundled up good for the hunt. Headed back to the park that recently has been bringing me good Luck and plenty of silver.
Today I had another good hunt with 10 wheaties and 6 more silvers, 4 mercs, a rosie & a washington Quarter.
Besides the Quarter, all the dimes were iffy, with FE numbers flipping anywhere between 7 to 12, and Co numbers flipping anywhere between 40 to 47... Im thinking (and correct me if wrong) they may have been on edge, or near junk.
Headed back tomorrow morning and try to squeeze a few more before the weather turn yucky this week.

Great huntin', catskillcomics, :yes: I'm no expert on the Minelabs but I'm learning slowly and I find that the deeper the sivers are- the more unreliable the readings are. I use Angel's settings and tweak from there. Any time you have a day like you had you can be glad. My last hunt yeilded 83 coins, many of which were zincolns and clad but I find out that the Minelabs are deep hunters and a dime getters. Great finds and good luck today thumbsup01

How does the wife pry that machine from your hands at night? lol That park is really treating you well :clapping: Nice hunt. If you severly shorten your swing (work the signal) after you locate a target, do the numbers settle in a bit better?? Sometimes the numbers bounce, but they always want to bounce back up to 12-45 or 46. Deep large cents along with the ones on edge, do this also. Give you another week and you should be right on Angel's tail ;)

Another very nice hunt, Scott. thumbsup01 The soil at that park must be on the damp side for much of the year. :thinkingabout: There have to be Barbers at that park, even seated. :cheesysmile:

Sweet hunt :happydance01: I've noticed the numbers will sort of bounce on deep targets, even if not on edge, but you just sorta know. I think it has to do with the see thru setting which makes TID on deep targets iffier. I seem to remember something to that effect from Andy's book.

Catskill, I'm wondering... Are all these silvers coming in as solid hits, or are any of them iffy / funky / nonstandard responses?
