2 Indians and 5 Wheats!!

Sounds like a great hunt to me. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on the IHs recoveries!

Congrats on the Ihps and wheats RJ. I see you found a valve stem cover, those are always fun to find. And speaking of yard permissions, they just seem hard to get these days, so 4 in one day is great. Do you guys just run through and cherry pick ? When I get a permission I work it to death. I usually tell the owner it might take me more than one trip depending on how hard the ground is to hunt. And by saying that it helps me to get a sense of how open the owner is and maybe get a standing permission. Good luck. Mark

Thanks!! I like finding those valve stem caps too. Usually when I hunt a yard, I try to get all the coins out of yard that I hunt. I do set the coin areas a little high and low on the Deus2 and Nox when I use it, just in case their numbers are distorted a bit from iron.
I try not to make a mine field out of their yard. All the plugs I dig You can hardly tell the grass is disturbed. I crosshatch the older homes just to make sure also. Keeping their yards looking just as good as they did before I was there also
gives Me a Good “In” when I do get around to go back to yards that I’ve already hunted for coins and look for lower conductors. This way it also doesn’t seem like I’m digging tons of holes.
I’ve noticed that the better experience I make My hunts for the homeowners, the better hunts I have.
As for cherry picking, We all know that the Numbers for most stuff We hunt for can vary greatly sometimes. Especially for Gold which is a mysterious creature itself when it comes to TID numbers. I do dig the TID numbers high and low a bit as I set the machines as I mentioned earlier. I dig a lot of trash at times, but it clears the spot in case of deeper items. My method isn’t perfect, but I can always keep working on it and detecting
Happy Hunting!!!!! Randy

Congrats on a fun hunt !

sounds like a great hunt helping a friend. Newbie 800 users can benefit from some personal guidance. The gods of metal detecting are funny. Wheats and Indians, should be some silver. But we all know it does not always work that way.

Congrats on the Indians!

Great story and hunting, congrats to you both!

Thank You!! Yeah I was sure I’d find a Silver, but just wasn’t in the day! Next time
