    Just getting around to it

    Just posting the sad hunt Dan and I had last Friday lol It isn't that we didn't try, as we had a friend Mike with us, and we wanted to put him through the ringer Hunted all day long at some sites that were good to us before, but are now banished from our lists Weather was perfect, so that was a plus. The parasol piece was about 9 with iron near by. The numbers on the 3030 read total iron and were hovering around 35-40. But the tone was constant, so I dug it. Was a bit surprised at seeing a good size brass target emerge. So did them iffys, they may just end up being something good.

    The parasol piece is the part of an umbrella that the wires attach to so you can fold the umbrella down.
