3 hours in the heat, a ring and 81 coins

knew I did not hit my favorite number...>100 today but the heat let me know it was time to leave!:stars: It was my first hunt in almost a week due to sunburn and burn out! $4.25 in clad and a junk ring. 1 53-d wheatie and one wheatie that looks like it has been swimming in the dirt a long time...help on cleaning it please!:wacko:
 
Yesterday was about 70
 
fairly often, I'm using programs you were gracious enough to share with me. I really love Bushwhack and Ghost Town, while my coin production hasn't seen great increase with the programs, my relic finds have greatly improved. I bought a 5.3 coil 2 weeks ago, and that has been quite a buy. Modern coin caches that I've passed over countless times have been showing their faces almost daily. I average 30-something coins per hunt, but have had as many as 67 in 2 hours due to a few caches I found my first hunt with the 5.3. I've yet to find my first silver coin however. My oldest coin to date being a 1940 wheatback at 5 inches. I noticed you mentioned suffering on nickels with the XLT, I most certainly suffer on those coins as well, but in the 2 weeks I've had my new coil, I've found nearly a nickel roll's worth. I have found multiple silver rings and one 1930's white gold band. Slowly but surely, I'm learning. I hope to find my first silver coin, with the aid of your programs and my new 5.3, in the not so distant future. Oh, I think the best find I've made with Ghost Town is a 2 piece sterling silver button, that was a real treat. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for your help and your posts and share my current detecting situation. Thanks again!

on another forum told me to stick the wheatie in a potato. Guess I'll try that first...said the starch will take care of it in 3 days! Oh no picture today...hit a bump in the road! Under $2 in clad from the forest preserve:rage: 4 golfballs though!:rofl:
 
Counting the crappy day I had today...under $2 in forest preserve...Worst day for me since it got warm...The cans were coming up not only like quarters...but dimes...drove me nuts! I stopped digging when every reading was 0.0 and the cans were about 4.0....Maybe you could tell me what kind of averages you were hitting when you kept your logs, if you can remember thanks.

A lot of people don't do well when looking for them because they are hunting with Tone ID turned 'On.' While the XLT and DFX generally produce a good higher-pitched tone when you sweep over silver or copper or clad, the lower-conductors, such as most gold jewelry and 5
