I haven't made many posts lately that's because I haven't been out much. I have had time to do some lurkin' and tradin'. I just aquired a Tek. T2 SE for the wife. She was loosing interest when I kept pulling the silver out in front of her with my E-trac. I sold her Garrett AT Pro and Tek. Delta and bought her a T2 SE for our 45th anniversary. I think we finally have the arsonal that I need to move forward.
Sunday was Eureka's yearly (Coinhuna) competition hunt held in an old park in Denver. No, I didn't get first place as the E-trac is not well suited for competition hunting, but I did have fun and came away with 45 silver dimes total. Mostly Roosies. After the hunt I stayed and continued to hunt the Sloans Lake Park and came away with a 1945 Merc. and a 59 Roosie and a silver ring by slowing down and cranking up the sensitivity (29). You can do it if you keep the coil moving and are willing to listen to the music. I have had good luck using the same settings that (angel) has here on American Detectorist. I do lurk alot on forums but I don't think you would enjoy seeing another Mercury or Roosie. I did manage to get back to 1914 Barber in Fort Collins City Park, Jack's (Cybersage's)territoryearlier in the year. I now have a re-sizing programand have learned to use my camera a little better so I promise to try to do better about posting. Thanks for the leadership here on AD jkress, coinnut, del,angel, and Cybersage as well as others too numerous to mention and spell correctly.
