Joe, great start to 2013. SLQ's a beautiful thing to seen in the hole. :congrats: and I hope you can get back to your birth place to get some more.
You are right... a SLQ is a true keeper to unearth. :smitten: I did get back to my birthplace tonight. At 5:16 my better half said, Just go out for
an hour.

eace: I took her advice and went back for another early evening hour hunt.
There weren't too many potential targets to dig during this time. At the 45 minute mark I got my coil over what sounded like multiple possibilities. :yes:
First up was a quarter sound at 5 inches - turned out to be a 1965. Back filled the hole, stood up, re-swept the area and again hit on several targets
worth digging.
Next came a 1965 dime, then a 1963 nickel. Packed the hole, stood up and scanned again... another dime signal. :thinkingabout: This one turned out to be
a 1952.
Grabbed a Wheat cent, packed up and went home, fired up the grill for hamburgers and watched Survivor. <: March 27th, 2013 was a good day!

I hope this SLQ is an indicator of how how successful your hunts are going to be in 2013! thumbsup01
Thank you Tony.
Me too.

Hopefully I'll find some good one's this year.

WOOHOOO!!! Nice job Joe. What fun it is to dig an SLQ

erfect10:
Thank you buddy. I appreciate the sentiment. But... I'd gladly switch spots with you for sure. :yes: I'd love to get my coil over the ground
you get to hunt. |

Very nice finds Joe! Where is your snow Joe?? That must be an old picture?
Our snow is finally melting, and so should yours... I'm counting on it. Ron and I might be in your neck of the woods on Friday.
Better be soft ground there. :cheesysmile:
Let me know if you want to get together for a hunt this spring. thumbsup01 The hospital picture is from 2011, definitely not from this week.
