Tesoro Cibola :tesoro::usaflag: Shoo Cat

I got a really start this morning to tryout a new site and was greeted by a black cat. I fired up the Cibola while it was still dark in hopes of beating the heat. Nothing was coming my way except clad coins, trash and a few wheat pennies. Will the silver streak end today? The dew was wet and messing and the blood sucking mosquitoes were out in record numbers. It felt like a steam room it was so humid. I pushed on, because I need some silver to keep the streak going. Finally I got a soft sweet audio signal and popped a Rosie. By this time, I was ready to call it a day with less than two hours of detecting time put in. This heat and humidity makes detecting not so fun. I may take a break for awhile, until the we get another cold front through here. At any rate, I ended up with a 1964 Rosie, some clad coins, lots of nickels including a Buffalo Nickel and a bunch of Wheat Pennies (1927, 19??, 1955, 1936, 1953, 1958 ).

I was using my normal settings. Discrimination was set where a Gatorade Sports Drink Foil Cap just discriminates out, a slight hum on the threshold, a little negative on the GB, and full sensitive. I was using the Sharpshooter coil.

Thanks. Most everyday is a good day when I'm metal detecting. I've had days that I didn't find much though. The colored tape is to make it easy to find if I forget to pick it up after using it. The clear plastic helps to keep the mud and water out of the switch. I need to come up with something different because clear plastic and Scotch Tape isn't working too well.

Tabman,
Did you ever think about giving a vibraprobe 580 a try? They work good for me and I just hose it off when I get home. The batteries last forever and there are no switches to go bad. Some may like them some don't but worth trying. Oh ya they are yellow so you can't miss it.
 
Excellent Tabman........Z
 
If it wasnt for the 'mega moon' and Genie helping you out by pulling up the silver, you would'nt of found dink, and most likely gotten murdered this am!...especially with that creepy black cat telling you to go back inside for your own good! But No! Tab fires up the Cib' and fights right on through ignoring the laws of the universe, shrugging off the bad joojoo and pushing all the bad luck onto somebody else.... like Me! Thats a nice crisp dime..:clapping:.
Mud
 
Mud you are right about the full moon, it does bring silver to the top of ground.:rofl: Most of my finds comes in the early morning hours. It may have something to do with EMI or maybe I'm just more in tuned because I'm not wore out yet. That close-up shot of the dime was taken just as the Sun was starting to show its face. It makes for a cool picture.

I use a piece of bicycle innertube and electrical tape to protect my Propointer. Helps quiet it down also.
 
Great finds!
Looks like you came across one of those laser cats.
