    First Hunt for 2010

    Played hooky today from work. First time in 25 years.. Not much but it felt so good out there again in the rain and some soft ground digging again. I really despise Winter First dig was my first Wheatie for the year, a 1942 D.. Spring's coming soon I hope.. Hey Angel, the ground is getting soft around here, try it out..

    Feels good to get out doesn't it lol I only had one weekend away from detecting so far and it was brutal Glad you got a chance to get some fresh air and find some good targets. You even got a wheat!! thumbsup01 You have to admit, it's nice to be swinging that coil in January

    Thanks Bruce. I had planned to go out today, but then the weather turned sour and rained. :bangahead01: :bangahead01: I may head out tomorrow though.

    I bet it felt good to swing the coil! A wheat is a nice start and a good sign. thumbsup01

    What is it with you people from the northeast and all your incessant whining about winter? lol rofl

    j/k It's great you got out. Glad to hear the ground is thawing a bit. Not often that you get some soft ground in the dead of January.

    Yea still using my DFX, can't put it down.. I plan to switch to the E-Trac come Spring and try to learn it. So far it has been foreign to me.. Just so used to the DFX lingo..

    Getting out, swinging a coil, listening for the beep! Don't get any better than that.

    If you can't seem to get into the E-trac... I'll trade you for a left handed DFX so that you can have one for each arm!!!
