    Skunked :(

    Went to a house with my friend Andy yesterday. Built in 1939 looked of potential. We had previously detected other homes in the same development with good success, finding multiple wheats silvers and tokens. Today... we got and 1987 dime, 1971 penny and 2003 Zincoln and a few shell casings. Oh Well cant all produce. Good hunting to all and to the Moms. Happy Mothers Day.

    Houses can be tough >:# I always have really high hopes and usually get put back in my place after about 20 minutes of hunting lol It is nice when you find one that gives you multiple silvers You will make up for it on another hunt. With my attitude though, I would go back there and stay until I at least got a wheat rofl
    Finding relics is in my blood
