Congrats with keeping pace with me.

Sounds as if you're really gonna like this new coil, that's awesome!

I got out today and lengthened my lead a bit.

A baby lead...but still you're ahead.
We hunted an old park the other day and I had to leave early....after I did that is when guns started going off around the site.
I think I will stick to the safer spots even if there might be less silver.
This contest will last till the end of the year so it would be nice to stick around for that.
I have enough extra holes in my body...don't need any more right now.

DIGGER, you're exactly right, this contest will last all year. No sense in getting shot at, besides, this is a friendly, no award contest. The only award is the right to gloat and I don't think I'd even do that.

Looking good fellas keep up the hunt!

First real hunt with the Mojave...only took about 1/2 hour for it to find it's first silver.
Surprised it took that long.

You are in trouble now, even if you don't realize it.

Dadgummit!

Hey congrats DIGGER! This is actually a very fun contest. I'm just wondering why neither of us is really finding the precious metals more than we are. I mean, I'm out swinging as often as I can.

Here they are not plentiful at all. All the parks have been scoured to death and silver is few and far between.
We have to think way outside the box around here to get the older coins, find areas that others might not of hit and just be lucky in areas were they have been hunted... or be smarter and more skilled.
Nothing is easy everything is masked to the hilt, there is a reason why I went over the spot a million times and never found the dime before... and it wasn't super deep, either.
Our little group I hunt with here, me, Dr. Detroit, and PanheadDan, have been lucky but it takes a lot of effort to find those good coins.
This is why I learn my detectors as well as I possibly can and also look for strange but repeating behavior to try to find those treasures that others missed for decades.
For me to have found 10 pieces of silver in the ground this early in the season in this mess is remarkable, this contest is a good one for pushing me ever onward also.
A big reason why I proposed it.

So hunt in your nice Ohio soil in your parks that still have a lot of good targets and I will deal with what I have to deal with here.
You have the better environment but I have more knowledge so I would consider it an even trade off.
I am having fun trying to kick your butt...how about you?

Nice merc!!

Decided to go on an early morning hunt after work this morning. Was able to score another silver ring. Mojave Shmohave!

Btw you guys suck!!

Ha!
We will run this contest till the end of the year or until the weather shuts you down.
I can hunt up to 12-31 but you might not be able to so yea...I am that nice of a guy.
That gives us at least 6 months hunt time if not more and here you are preening like a peacock because you are just 2 ahead.
Go ahead Ohio boy, the higher you fly the farther the fall.
CongratZ on the silver but you ain't seen nuthin yet.

Got me a little silver earring on Thursday. Third silver from this soccer field...looking for gold to show up! http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=247660

I had the opportunity to go on a quick hunt and I was able to score some goods.

Got hot and dry here so I usually only go out in the morning early and to a few close parks.
We just got some rain though, and i guess I will have to get my but to a few more further parks.
+3 huh.....we will see how it goes

Thank God it rained in Chattanooga digging in rock hard soil blows

DIGGER, I'm starting to feel like an ant at a picnic that you have going on.

I'm annoying you and won't go away.

Scored a Merc on my second hunt of the day.

Earlier today I scored a 1923 German 200 Mark. Kind of cool I think.
