I got up the gumption to go hunting locally yesterday. it was a nice spring day here in the heartland. not a terrorist to be seen!
So, I took my new Whites MXT out for a learning session at what I call "stinky lake". I call it that because the powers that be put the swimming beach right across from the city waste disposal plant.
AH, the sheer genius of their decision becomes apparent on a hot august day. LOL.
Anyway, after fiddling with the various controls, etc. I walked back and forth about four laps from the water edge upward.
This beach sees mostly campground use from the adjoining trailer/RV park.
I know it gets hunted, I ran into a girl who rented a house from my wife and I some years ago. Seems she had taken up metal detecting (??!!!), and this was a beach she hunts.
Anyhow, no gold or silver. I was impressed that I was getting hits as far down as four inches, whatever they were, I could get them on the surface, but they were so tiny!! I couldn't see them. Tiny bits of something or other.
I can see I need some practice on this before I head out to find the worlds largest gold nugget, but I had a real good afternoon. Ain't that what its all about?? HH!
