Discovered today that the frost has gone out at an old school tear down site that gave up some nice old silver last year, YEA!
I have pounded this site very carefully (with a pioneer 505 ) , griding in two directions, seven different times. If you had asked i would have been doubtful there was much of anything left.
For Christmas I got a f70 and the few times I've had it out (terrible snow and cold this winter) I have been getting discouraged because each time I just became more confused and frustrated with learning the new machine.
Today when I saw that this old school site was thawed out, I thought " this would be a good place to get some practise, and maybe I might find a stray wheat or two that I missed"
As I began hunting all the manual reading, forum research, and listening to the machine began to make sense and all fall together! About an hour and a half later I had bagged 21 clad coins, 5 quarters, 6 dimes 3 nickels and seven pennies! PLUS a 1950d Rosie, a 1936d merc and a first for me, a 1943s silver war nickel! Also 4 wheat's,a 1955d, 1949d, 1920s, and a 1917d!! I am two happy for words, a 3 silver day is unheard of for me! I am in awe of this machine! Thank you Fisher labs!
