got out today with chrisinct and trooper bri and had a right good laugh along with some blindingly good finds.
we started at a house that Chris had drove by , old Victorian built in 1852 but had a fire last year and is pretty gutted.
chris started one side of the house and me and bri the other so the two v3i machines wouldn't talk to each other (chris and bri swing the same detector).
after 1 min i get a signal on the f4 reading a steady 72 in all directions at 2 inches , out pops a bloody great big silver ring , im off and running .
another 5 mins go by and bam !!! another 71-72 signal but right on the top , im thinking clad dime but no , i push away the grass and there lays a beat to hell 1903 barber dime , the silver dance followed of course:happydance01::happydance01:.
2 mins later bri calls out he has a Wheatie 1943 , this place is beginning to look good.
after half hour chris got a wheat and we had pretty much covered the yard so we began to swing back to the car and im in again !!!! beep beep a nice 71 mixed in with a low tone signal right over where bri had just been . digging down out pops a nail laying right on top of a 1923 mercury !.
chris said he has another place we could hit , a hill behind a hospital , it looked promising and after a few mins i hit a nice dog tag that i still have to clean but it looks like a nice early one and i think its 1919, then bri pops another wheat , then i get a wheat...this is turning out to be a nice day.
working my way back to the car i see chris had already taken off his headphones and was watching me teetering about on a rock cliff face when i get a nice 80 signal at 4 inches , digging down out comes a silver hair Barret in the shape of two horses , the silver dance ensues once again :happydance01:.
we did hit another promising looking place but nothing more was had.
great time out with me mates today even though with the silvers i got they kept threatening to tie me to a tree and leave me there :shocked01:.
bri met an old detectorist when we where at the last place he said his name was "THE BARD" , bit stuck up for my liking and spoke with a right funny English accent kept yelling out things like "a horse a horse my kingdom for a horse" and "alas poor yoric i knew him well".
anyway here is a few pics.
