As the heading states, Al was away this weekend ...on Saturday, I headed out for a solo hunt. I hit a few spots that I hit in the past trying some new methods that I'm still trying to glean from Angel's posts. Nothing really. Went to a park that gives up a few goodies here and there and managed a few wheats and a 41 Merc (no pics)
On Sunday, Tim and I got togther. I told him that there was a dirt pile that I wanted to hit on the way out. We pulled up grabbed our detectors, and went to work. I got half way round and had a SCREAMING 12/47 hit! :happydance01:....what could it be? I dug into the pile and pulled out a nice green disc <: happydance02. I stuck it in my special pocket and kept working...nothing else. Got back into the car and pulled it out to take a better look.... :shocked03: such details...1796 Liberty Cap LC!!!!!! :peace:...2nd for the year, but the details are so clear on this one!
WE hit another park, I managed a few wheats...Tim will give his tally.
I then took Tim to a spot that I hit every now and then. Last year I pulled a Reale and a merc from there, ands this year, I pulled an Icelandic 1931 5 some wheats and a great 1915 Buffalo. This time I only managed a wheat, but Tim did well.
THEN...we went back to the park that I had went to the day before....I hit an area I had been hitting hard...I didn't think anything would be left...BUT as an :angelic: always says.....going at an extremely slow pace...and I mean extremely...I think I smoked a cigerette during a full sweep lol....I managed a few more wheats and another 41 Merc.
I heard Al had the cops on him again while he was in NH trying to detect.... rofl...that Al....he'sdefinatly up to no good lol
Oh, and enjoy the pics...I actually bought a REAL camera just for the forum after all of the harrassment about the quality of my pics lol
