Went out for a 3 hour hunt at old faithful and it started out very slow. It was so slow that I dug targets that I knew were probably junk, just to dig. After about an hour and a half, I finally received an iffy one way 12-40 to 12-44 at 8". I was more than happy to dig and pulled the 1952 D wheat from 7" down. I must have been so excited to get to the target that I carelessly scarred it. DANG!
Went for about another 20min before I received another decent signal and to my surprise, out pops the 1891 IH from 7"-7 1/2" deep. That made my hunt well worth the trip. It took another 20+ mins. before next good signal of 12-34,12-36 and dug the 1902 IH from 9". Roughly 20 feet away I received a 10-12, 12-11, 12-13, 9-13. This was such a radical jump that I started to walk. I thought as I was walking away "what am I doing" so I back tracked found it again and pulled the V nickle from 8-9". Day was getting better and better.
Finally on the walk back to car, another 12-36, 12-37 and the target was deep. Last oldie was the 1903 IH and that was the icing on a beautiful Sunday hunt.
Thanks for looking,
