Decided that I had to hit 2000 clad coins for the year and then get caught up on all the stuff I've been neglecting for 2 weeks. I figured a short hunt this morning and a short hunt tomorrow would do it but I got it done this morning. All bark chip areas and the ground surrounding. Cleaned out the main areas with the stock coil first and then installed my new sniper coil to get in close. If you don't hunt bark chip areas this way you must start. At least 2/3 of the coins were found where my stock coil would not function even with very low sensitivity. One of the sites has no metal so it was all stock. Only found about 10 coins there.
Noteworthy stuff is Belgian 5 Franc coin, junk earring, turtle pendant, "S" pendant or charm with "diamonds," Stop pin. I didn't stop by the way. 110 coins in about 4.5 hours. Had to drive between 3 sites so maybe 4 hours actual hunting.
When I'm wrong, I'm wrong and boy was I wrong about not using rechargeables. I bought 12 brand new AAs for my camera and GTI 2500 and they are all still going strong on their first charge. In fact, my 2500 had 16 hours of use before it even started flickering into 4 bars. This normally happened around 13 or 14 hours with regular batteries. If you can answer either of these questions please do. Why does the battery setting on the 2500 call rechargeables NiCads? Most do not use this technology anymore. Does this cause any problem? Which setting do you use? I know older rechargeables had a memory effect problem that newer rechargeables are supposed to not have. When do you recharge your batteries? I was thinking at about 3 bars on the battery meter.
I have also found about 25 Pepsi and Coke caps with codes on them this year. I hope you all are taking advantage of this promotion. I made mention of this before and do so again. I think you need 90 points from Pepsi to get a dvd. Each cap is 1 point. A 12 pack is more points etc. I got a bunch of stuff from Coke last year. Shorts, flip flops, free 12 packs. It's worth the time. If you're not doing it, or you don't drink pop, you can email the codes to me. Heh heh.
No hunting until next Thursday. Maybe......

For those that read this far I'll explain the Walking Liberty Half on the hood of the car. I stopped for coffee at a gas station and the Indian or Pakistani asked if I would take a half dollar in change. I said sure and the guy was actually happy to get rid of a nice 1944D WL Half! Trying to sound as unexcited as possible, I asked where he got it and if he had anymore. He said this guy came in and paid all in change for a 24 oz can of beer including this half and that at least 5 people had already refused to take it in change. I asked if I could look at the rest of his change and he said no but he did place all of his quarters on the counter and there were no silvers. This was at 8am. I guess when you need a beer, you need a beer.
