Went out to a park I'd never been to until today, a place with the very appropriate name of Hammer Field:lol: seriously, that's the actual name of the place:laughing: Pretty old, with the first of several ballfields laid out around 1930 or so, and all of the fields were definitely hammered hard back in the day, but a test hunt with the EX II for several hours around the park's outer edges showed there's potential for it to be productive still... Place probably wasn't hunted much in the last couple years as I got a easy $4.12 in clad...but the 12 wheats, silvers and especially this Indian were all deep silvers #150 and #151 After giving up on digging 2-4 times a week 4 months ago, the 150 silvers is still a respectable count for the year and I'm happy with that, several gold rings, and the relics, dirty clad and all the other stuff I recovered...paid for the old Explorers that found it all:D I'll be digging frequently when the Silver Bandit is here for the holidays, hitting it hard like we always do to end the year...but after that there are no plans for 2018. Well, that's all I got for now...so as always, thanks for the looks, see you after the next outing and Happy Hunting!
 
Congrats on #150! I also scored a 1904 Injun today, my only keeper.
 
Nice IHP, and rosies! Im sure more will be found there.
 
Hammer Park.... I think your going to do just that on this site. There is still a lot of adventure left in you Bruce, I hope the new year will again instill that concurring demeanor that keeps you driven. Your right nothing wrong with the numbers that you have put up. Hell I wish they were mine. Your one of the best in this game and I hope you know the respect you have earned among your peers.

Awesome Bruce,love seeing the EX2 finding stuff the others missed! As Trapper said,your perseverance and “sticktoitiveness” are well respected...
 
Nice hunt!

Upgrade that stock coil to say, 10x12 SEF and you will gain another 2" depth or better - I did, couldn't believe the difference.
 
Good job Bruce!! I should be up on the 21st and we can head on early on the 22nd! Woohoo! Looking forward to it!
