I spent a hour with the Explorer II at a "hunted out" 1940's ballfield after the rain stopped this morning
The wet conditions helped with locating deep coins mixed with the aluminum trash, and twice I heard the telltale whistle that usually means silver...first time it was one of those older Canadian pennies that are almost pure copper, but the 2nd time the cursor was also trying to hide on the top right of the screen
all of it...part of a matchbox car, some brass that I will tumble and recycle
a bit of trash, $1.03 in battery money, the 1967 Canadian cent, 3 wheats and the silver
silver #81
and it just so happens that today is December 7th, the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor...
For the first time since mid April the detecting and digging conditions are perfect for hunting deep silver...so hopefully the ground will stay soft and not freeze solid for a bit longer. Until the next outing, thanks for the looks and Happy Hunting!
