So get this. I'm sitting here this afternoon , minding my own business, working like a dog and the wife comes in and tells me I better go hunting today because its supposed to get very cold here over the next few days and weekend.
I explained to her, well, I only have a couple hours before I have to go pickup the grandkids at school. She informed me a couple hours is better then none at all. So I seized on the opportunity, grabbed the 3030 and RAN to my truck. I went to an empty lot that's very close to my house, which I have hunted at least 30 times before. Have taken several friends there also. I have found several silver coins and numerous IHP on this lot. I am using my 17" coil, hoping it goes deep enough to find the hidden silver I have missed with the stock coil. Dug a few "iffy" signals, (About 10-12") and thought I'm wasting time, the clock is ticking.
I hit a target at about 10", was giving me a 10/35 VDI# but the tone was pitch perfect. You guys that swing the 3030 KNOW the sound I'm talking about. I thought okay, lets dig it and see. About 10" I see a very slight glimmer of a silver rim. I'm thinking NO WAY. But sure enough, out pops a 1876 Seated Dime. WAHOOOOOOOO!!!! First hunt of the new year and I'm on the silver train. Coin is very worn and thin, cant see the mint mark and I scratched it ever so slightly with my digger but oh well. Did I mention WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I dug a few other iffy targets but this was the only coin I found. But right here in winter mode, I couldn't be happier.
I was in
