Beat Mother Nature today and got Gold....

[shawnIN]

went out today and fought mother nature. It was a nice 28 degrees with a little wind. first good find of the day was this 10K ring found by an old tennis court. Nice way to start the day. Then things dried up. Managed a little clad, but nothing old for a while. I was thinking to myself that it sure would be nice to atleast find a wheatie and then shortly I get a nice tone and hitting in the 30's. Out pops an 1884 indian. Took about 2 steps and another hit. Picked up the second of the tribe. 1901. Started getting late and was working back to the car and I get a scratchy signal that is mixed with iron. The numbers were all over, but would occasionally jump up and then become erratic again. Decided to dig this one and out come the 3rd indian and the hole has 3 nails in it. I tried to find a silver, but it just did not happen today, but still happy to be digging.

Dont worry about silver when you got gold! Nice find, how did it ring up?

It rang up iin the mid 30's, but was in area that was loaded with pull tabs. Not sure about the ferrous numbers because I rarely pay attention to those. If the conductive numbers hit in the good range, I dig.

Dont worry about silver when you got gold! Nice find, how did it ring up?

Great Hunting!! How hard was it to dig? Our ground the frost is down at least an inch, which makes digging a challenge.

The ground is fine. Have not had an issue yet, although Monday there was frost in places when the cold snap came through.
