Hello all! Went out last night and tried a new-to-me area of the DG course but for almost the entire hunt I used an 8 kHz program. Kept digging small mid-conducting targets, like small caliber bullets, deep can slaw, and when I found a small aluminum jean rivet at 4" that sounded good...I decided to go back to 4 kHz!!!
Was walking back to the car and got a faint mid-to-high toned target, and out came a nice 1917 S Wheat at 6"...OK! So I am not skunked this hunt at least...I thought to myself. Got a cool LeBonheur Children's Hospital token - never seen one before! Then came a shallow clad quarter and dime, followed by a couple copper Memorials at 10 feet of ground remaining until I hit concrete. I knew that the closer I got to the road, the more junk targets existed, so I decided to pick out ONE LAST TARGET. Scanned an area 2 feet from the road and got the usual burp burp bep burp bep BEEP! burp. Centered on the BEEP and it read "88-89" in 4 kHz.
"Probably a chunk of brass or copper" I thought to myself, but this is the last target! Dug down about 6" and didn't initially get a hit with the Propointer. Rescanned and it was still there, solid and firm target, very sweet-sounding. Poked around the hole a little more and then saw a large silver rim...did the happy dance and laughed for probably longer than I should have! First 90% Kennedy half EVER!
Will be rechecking that area next hunt - this half was about 6-7" deep and there's no mesh in the way. Targets are very dense near the curb, but the prospect of more silver will always have me coming back!
