Ole boy knows how stalk a deer, find a hog, and hit turkey in the right place. I kicked his butt with a beep stick though. The clad came from a camp along the lake. Apparently never been hunted. We have ourselves a spot. For the other finds, we had to drive up a mountain, down a valley, back up the same mountain, then ever further down the next valley on the same mountain. Found the spring, got the water, then did a little huntin' my way.

There used to be an old still up there. Found some plow points and barrel bands up there a couple of years ago, and some steel #9 wire this year. I smell whiskey. My oldest dated find is pictured first. It is part of a .12 guage re-loading tool. NEAT!!!!!!! The axe rang up like a...........dollar!

That is truly a monster. What did you do with the beast?

B.I.T. used the V3 with the 6x10 and I ran the E-Trac with the stock coil, at least initially. I'd been wanting to try my Sunray Stealth 5" in a trashy environment and it performed very well, in my opinion. Almost all the targets came from my time with the 5". I think this coil will be my "go-to" E-Trac coil for moderately high to very dense trash, or for a smallish area where time would be well spent combing every square centimeter.

What an end to a great year, Peace! Today was a day just to dig, dig, and dig. I was mostly seaching for VDI target recognition. I found that those Zinc damn pennies everywhere and they are very pesky and hard to isolate. I was using the preloaded DFX coin and jewelry program and skipping most penny dime ids to find other harder to id VDI responses. Still using the bigfoot coil.

I am now in the mid VDI ranges 40-60 range and found most zincs to be in this range. I also noticed that when I pin point items that show deep they are actually small and shallow. This is where I found the smaller metal items like the silver piece and the cleats and the zipper puller.

Any way hope everyone enjoys the new year and see you on the other side! Peace!!!

I made two big changes in technique today.

I first took some old silver rings and some bullets I had found and conducted some quick VDI checks and low and behold the rings are not hitting in the quarter range where I thought silver would be but in the twist top range about 45-55 VDI. I was shocked! In the past I passed these by not really checking and finding out what is in the dirt. I have made mental notes of the pull tabs and the zinc pennies but never twist tops. Whenever I see twist top now I really wonder what I have been missing. Since the area I have been searching lately does not have too many twist tops then this is a sign of a good target.

Second was to go to exactly where the most people and action happen. I found the diamond sitting in the grass under a player bench on a side of a soccer field. I new that the holder had to be nearby and I searched one swing later and found it. This was just pure luck. But that is what happens when you are out there!

The second ear ring (silver one) I found where two long chain link fences meet for a exit/entry way to the field. There is tall grass in this area because the grade is too high to cut and is blocked by several trees. This was a perfect spot.

So these two adjustments worked well. Thanks for the help Beep! Hope Chicago was not too cold.

Good hunting Evrybody!

RMEDAD Out.

I also found a chip of a dime. I thought it to be silver but it is clad. I have found pieces of silver quaters back in the north east and I wonder what folks are doing when they chip out pieces.

Anyway I think this was my most productive outing. My battery ran low, I scouted some new sites and still broke my winter record for finds. I am no longer digging low VDI therefore not much pull tabs. The crushed can was the last "joker" target I dug on my way to the car. I told my self to dig the next repeatedable sound and the can was there.]]> Wed, 22 Dec 2010 13:52:29 GMT http://www.thebeepgoeson.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=19
I found a 1951 D Wheatie in a place it was not supposed to be! I think I have read before the percentage of pull tabs to rings is 100 to one. Not sure but I am keeping track just to verify. So if you can spend more time per outing going after marginal targets then your chances should go up. Gold is elusive and you have to be willing to dig those marginal targes and keep your motivation up at the same time.

I remember once when I was at an 1890s mansion that I lost my pinpointer in the leaves and spent 30 minutes of precious time searching for my pointer (not a good way to spend your time). especially around such an old site with a very limited amount of time. by adding a cord to your tools will ensure you dont lose your tools as well.
