Yes every sport has them. If you gold you are sure to play your best game of the year the last time you are able to play before the snow flies. Nope no chance to hone that fine swing you just perfercted.
I went out in the AM and there was nothing. My SE was new and well thought of selling it cheap and taking up something new crossed my mind. Then the battery went dead. I detect in all metal and I am certain that all those sounds you hear eat the batteries quicker. I go get a spare set. Yep I forgot to throw them in my bag. Luckily I was only a few blocks from home.
I get back wondering why i bothered and within a few minutes I get a solid tone. Like everything at this site there always are lots of other tones in close proximity but I thought what the heck and dug after taking lots of time to pin point it.
down 8 inches and nothing. Scan the dirt and scan the hole no signal that matches what I saw before digging. At this site that is not uncommon so I figure that my wonderful day continues. But I then scanned the side walls with the x-1 probe and there was the tone. I dug a bit and out pops a quarter. Perhaps the mystery is solved. Maybe in some areas the signal does not come through so that it can be pinpointed accurately.
I go for maybe 10 minutes and book one more good one. In alittle over an houre I dug perhaps 7 holes and found something good in 5 of them. One target at the end did not look right but I was curious as to what it might be and it was the first time I got two coins in the same hole. They were in fact pressed into each other. Just modern dimes but a first is a first. As we all know a first is not always something great.
So I went home happy and especially happy I got the X-1 when I got my SE. I am certain the SE does a great job and inspite of my shortfall of experience I was able to find some things and nearly all of them were surrounded by other objects or signals at least where for perhaps half of them the only hint I had they were there was the sound (ferrous) as the readout did not show what It was until I barely moved accross the area where the sound came from. I was able to get the digital readout I was after and always was able to repeat it and get it from different angles but they could easily have been missed.
Oh the two dimes were in a spot I have covered several times with a Quattro and with The SE at least once when I first got it.
My only negative for the day was that nothing was silver. I am finding lots of coins from the 60's but not one pre 65. I did find a 1920 penny but I want to find my first silver. Gold would be good too but at this site I am never going to find it as I would have to dig every few feet if I dug every signal that could be gold.
