Yesterday got out to a new site that looked promising, and pulled a merc in the first 15 minutes :happydance01:, then it started to pour >:\ >:\ Took the time to scout other sites in the area, and found a couple that looked promising. Got back to the site for another hour and a half and dug enough deep clad and a couple of wheates to know the site could be a winner, but it was just too wet and muddy to be fun, so I tabled it.
Got out bright and early this morning, and hit one of the other sites, but just 2 clads in an hour and nothing deep; I decided to leave that site for another time.
Went back to yesterday's site -- good choice as I was able to pull 9 silvers in 4 hours <: That's definitely a honeyhole run rate, but the site is rather small, and I hit the best areas first, so I'm not sure there's much more there, but we'll definitely find out.
This is a dream site, the ground was sweet, so I was able to run the E-Trac at man 30, which is very rare around here, and I was hitting them deep. Not much trash, and not much ferrous trash, and only 4 wheats, which is an inverted ratio, which means to me its been hunted (wheats are a bit bigger and have the halo), just not with a really deep machine, so alot of the annoying surface clad and trash has been cleaned out.
Also the first extended hunt I ran on channel 6 on the E-Trac, its one of my 4 silver channels (the others being 2, 9, and 10 if you read my other post on the subject), but this is the first time 6 has been proven on a monster silver day, so add to the list of proven in the field go to channels.
Well, its off to Thanksgiving dinner, have a great holiday everyone :beerbuddy: and HH.
