Se first full hunt and bam! Its silver time!!!!!

[DFX-Gregg]

Well the ground now is starting to thaw...was able to dig about four inches down.... Decided the first full hunt would be with the Se... The dfx stayed home today.... I wanted to try to remember some of the tones and readings from the air tests I had run... It was a three hour hunt...around $3 in clad...usually with dfx the clad amounts for three hours are usually double that....but right near end of hunt....the Se began its attack got a strong 3/28 reading....which sounded like the silver I air tested...but so did a quarter earlier which was not... :clsoedeyes:

But as I dug in the rock gravel..there it was down around 2-3 inches....my first silver of year! A 43-d Merc...after 3 hours of tough hunting...I finally had a smile on my face....and headed to the car... Around $3 in clad, a Merc, and two game room tokens...and a little confidence built....

The only one I can pinpoint with for now...relied on the few digital readings I remembered..picked up on quarter tone and nickel tone... cents/junk still a little confused...

That first silver with a new machine is a good feeling.

I'm one up on you w/ the SE -- found a '52 Rosie Sunday to go along w/ the '35 Merc earlier. But who's counting. (To be fair, I think I've had warmer weather.) Also had a Merc and my first SLQ w/ the Sov this year too. But for some reason I suspect you're going to pass me.

maybe not on the silver...but clad wise...I expect a ton...last year over 11,000 coins... I will be happy with 15-25 silvers....

WTG Gregg. I picked up some silver the other day in a REALLY REALLY trashy mountain park. I also hunted in a supposedly hunted out park that had been cherry picked. I got a few dollars of clad... almost all were on their side. The explorer didnt think twice or react any different than it would have for a coin laying flat.

You will be finding a lot more.

Congratulations on the first silver of the year Gregg. I think hunting season is open in Illinois.

Yes up to now I am shocked by the stability of the Se...I really like it and I am already used to the sounds...my pinpointing needs work! I am either dead center or almost the full size of the coil away!
