    My Last Two Hunts of June

    I got out with Tony & Noah last Saturday. I had a slow day (compared to them) one rosie, one merc and a bowling championship badge, but near the end of the day a dug a beautiful Silver watch which I posted earlier.

    I've notice most of this season that I've been missing targets that Tony and Tim have finding behind me. I also haven't been hearing a lot of deep targets. I've been thinking that maybe I lost my mojo. It's been getting kind of frustrating.
    Yesterday afternoon, Noah and I decided to go out for a few hours. Before we left I removed my coil and replaced with the one off my sons machine. Wow, as soon as I hit the ground I was picking up 8-9" signals. I dug three deeper dimes and an Indian yesterday, including one that was about 15 inches from where I dug a Walker a few weeks ago. I never heard it that day. Yesterday, clear as day!
    So, hopefully my Mojo is intact and I just need a new coil!

    Here are my finds from my last two hunts:

    Don't sell yourself short, Don! We all know there is nothing wrong with your abilities! I'm glad you pinpointed the problem. (No pun intended.)

    That 1889 Indian Head is gorgeous! Such a beautiful green patina on it and amazing detail. It's a looker!

    I love that bowling medal too. I just noticed that the bowling ball only has two holes in it. Weird! So cool that it has the 1935 date. Awesome find!

    Lifetime totals:
    9 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 19 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves
