Went back last night to the house that produced the Walker a couple of days ago and spent some more time in the front yard ONLY! This time I started at the end of the driveway and quickly found two Wheats in the same hole - almost didn't dig the signal since it was slightly elongated...but Im glad I did! Slowly worked up the driveway and changed Reactivity to 2, Silencer to 1, and Sens remained at 85. Ive gone over most of the front sidewalk area with Reac = 3 and Silencer = 1 for increased target separation but this time I was after the deeper coins, if any were living there. Got a slightly scratchy "87" and found a zincoln and 1962 Rosie in the same hole and not three feet away got a nice "91-92" which turned out to be the 1946 Quarter at 6" depth. I was charged at that point and, although it was past midnight and I had to work the next day (today) I decided to press on for another 30 minutes (love the clock in the display screen by the way!)
Crossed the sidewalk back to where I found the Walker but changed back to Reactivity of 3 and Silencer of 1. Got a moderate signal of "83" and dug 6" deep to find nothing...then got a hit in the sidewall which turned out to be a war nickel! Reswept the hole to find the "83" still sounding off clearly! Scratching my head at this point I took the war nickel and passed it near the coil and NOTHING. Not even a peep...I forgot that I had earlier notched out 58-64 at the farigrounds because of all the brass lightbulb bases that I was finding and didn't think to "unnotch" the program for hunting these cleaner rental properties! So another weirdo war nickel found its way home which indicated at "60" - but the credit goes to the Garrett ProPointer for that find! The "83" didn't fail to impress with being a 1956 D Wheat! I'll take em all day long!
Ended the hunt on a great note finding a 1959 Rosie at 5" deep and a 1936 Merc inches away at roughly the same depth. I was so stoked from the hunt that I couldn't get to sleep until 230 or so!!! Going back tonight for more silver!!!
