The wind was blowing like crazy today and my sis called to see if I was MDing. I was contemplating it but I knew it was going to be windy and cold. After sitting in the house for a hour and a half I couldn't take it anymore! >{ I decided to hit a house in town since it was close and I only had 1/2 hour to hunt. 1/2 hour ended up being 45 minutes and I was cold and could barely hear the tones because of the wind. The ground I was hunting was severe ont eh Etrac...manual sens. was only 15 and bumping it up to only 19 was almost unbearable. The EMS was severe in the yard and I was grabbing channels left and right trying to get a tolerable audio. I did manage 3 silvers and 4 wheats. The wheats ranged from 1919-1946 and the silvers 1920-1943. Also dug some toys and a piece of jewelry, the big headed roofing nails are plentyfull and give off a great dime signal >:#...probably enough to re-roof the house. Returning when the wind dies down and I have warmer clothes on. Thanks for looking.

Finding silver does tend to give a person that nice warm feeling! :yes:

It was very windy here too today. It's really starting to feel like fall.

Nice Mercs and war nickel! That's a great hunt for only 45 minutes!

to reckon with today. :stretcher:
Two Mercs and a War nickel would keep me smiling all weekend. thumbsup01

Thanks all for the great replies. I think I may hit the fields tomorrow, but will be puting on the thermals! I get the feeling the season is dwindling down and have the urge to get out as much as possible before the real cold sets in. :thumbsdown:

Very nice hunt! This part of the year is my favorite time to hunt. Those big old roofing nails give my machine fits, ring up almost like a wheatie.
