Did not get out for a lot of hunting this week as I'm trying to get the gardens ready for planting. Also took two days and went fishing with my son. Still I had some very productive time in the two hunts. The first I want to say thank you, to Jeff (Cellrdwellr) for his advise for a after dark hunt. It was the first experience for me hunting stealth. It was a very good hunt but if I ever do it again I need to know the area a lot better. I tripped and stumbled my way through it, with high grass and lots of tree limbs to keep me on edge. I only dug the high tones as I did not use the backlight on the machine. Doing this I dug as if all the targets were deep. I pocketed all the digs without identifying until I got home. I only dug 18 plugs of which 8 were Wheat's, 5 Silver's with the rest clad. My total hunting time was only about a hour and 15 minutes. The second hunt took place at the park up by my son's home. It is the park that I dug the 7 coin spill at. Had about 3 hours to spend after fishing during the day. This is my forth hunt on this site and all have produced Silver. This hunt yielded 3 Rosie's and a Silver GW. The nine Silvers for the week now has me at 134 for the year. By the way we came home with our limits of walleyes on both days. HH all! Trapper
