DIGGER27
In Memory Of
Got about 5 short hunts under my belt with my new sniper coil mounted on my Vaq.
These were just some small test hunts, today I had more time and I drove over 20 miles to a favorite site, an old park with a basketball court and where I found 2 gold rings and a big silver ring about 2 months ago.
I wonder if I can find some great targets a little deeper than my F2 and sniper coil can reach and this is the best kind of place to do that.
I got there early and started hunting that trashy basketball court and found some clad I missed in previous hunts but nothing else before I got bored and started walking around to other parts of the park.
Dug more clad, I was having a great time when the rain started.
I drove to check out another small park close with another court I have not hunted yet, and found another one that I did not even know was in the neighborhood and since the rain did not look like it was stopping soon I just went home.
Hung out with the wife for awhile, she got sick of me and the rain stopped so I went to my go-to place which is a Jr. college only a mile from my home just to kill a little time because it was overcast, relatively cool, and there was still plenty of light left.
I have hit the many grass islands separating the large parking lot where I found a bunch of clad and one small gold ring on another hunt when I came here just to kill time.
There is a large basketball court with many baskets but I have found mostly just clad around this thing in many, many hunts, but I started there anyway.
Still not much, a little clad I missed in the past, and just for the heck of it I wandered out to a large flat area next to this court.
Huge area, see the basketball court waaay down there?
Not a sports field but it is near some so maybe some students sat here in the past or something but I really have no idea.
Small coil, big area, this was not the right coil to use for sure, but I have been lucky before just roaming around big areas like this so I said what the heck, I gave it a try.
Guess what?
Lightning struck again and I just happened to wander over the exact right spot, I just happened to get a pretty solid signal and I just happened to dig it.
Gold baby!
A small one, only 1.8 grams but it is marked 14k and it counts!
The best way to christen new equipment is by finding the best targets and in my case I mean gold.
Now that he tasted gold once I hope my new little coil buddy liked it and will sniff out more for me in the future...the near future.
I made a vow to dig 12 pieces of gold this year, one for every month, and this is number 7 so I am on track.
I love it when a plan comes together!
