Now the I've got your attention, I want to thank Mr. Keith Wills for hosting the WWATS Rally this weekend. Skillet and I were only able to make it out for Sunday's activities, but it was for sure some fun. We entered the Pay Hunt and that was my total. No tokens, but Skillet managed one for a Garrett 1500. Also got to finally meet Mary Penson. Super nice lady and one class act for sure. Nice to put a face to someone that I've e-mailed with over the past few years.
 
Be advised if you're planning to attend next year; there are ALOT of hot-rocks along the Llano river and my Freedon Ace plus was banging on them like coins... a kinda' double-blip signal, even with disc. maxed. Cost me some time chasing them.
I took one home to play with. They look like harmless granite but they can mask coins like crazy. My Freedom 2 plus bangs on them too, but my newer machines (1000 and 1500) don't read them. None of my machines read coins well that were laying right next to the rock. Coins with the stone laying on top of them were completely invisible to any machine that I currently own.
Curious and disturbing. This area is known to produce flake gold so the ground mineralization is likely very different from what most of us are acustomed to.
John seemed to have less trouble with his 1250/elliptical coil rig and found twice the coins that I did and yes, I did find a token for a new 1500, but since I already own one, John H. bought it from me on the spot... so we both made out pretty well.
Prizes were 2 $5 gold coins, packs of silver rounds and 9 detectors... with 40-60 hunters, odds were pretty good.
It was a good time, I'll definitely be back next year!

Me too!! Everybody was hooting me for having the big ol' 10x14 DD on my 1250, but the hot rocks weren't even a problem for it. I only dug one bad target out of 62 and it was a shotgun shell. I kept hearing guys say "Another hot rock" as I was digging coins. I was finding coins 2" from dig holes. I don't think some guys were re-scanning or the hot rocks were masking them.
Happy Hunting all!!
