a little bit of grass!! <:

Just had to get out and try. The ground was wet/sloppy and still frozen but it was a good time.

I was able to swing the coil for just about an hour. A couple of pull tabs and a few pieces of clad was all I managed... but, I wasn't expecting too much.

I had a 8/ moment when I first started today. I knew it had been a while since hearing the tones, but things just didn't seem quite right with the sound and cursor placement. After about the first 15 minutes I was convinced something was just off. Then it hit me, check the sound setting. Sure enough, it was still set on Ferrous sounds instead of Conductive. lol I was experimenting a little with some air tests over the winter set on Ferrous sounds and forgot to change it back. :rolleyes:

After switching back to Conductive... everything sounded very familiar.

Although extremely muddy, it was great getting back out there. I think I'll wait a little longer until the ground thaws and dries out a little. Today's fix should hold me over... should. :rolleyes:

The ground here is getting good and soft in spots but still pretty hard in other spots.
