Had 15-30 minutes to hunt tonight after a long day at work. There is a defunct boys camp from the 1920's, its within sight of my house. It stopped being a camp in the 60's and an older couple spends two months a summer there, his father started the camp. I have hunted this quite a bit, its nice and close and there are not many new targets. Lots of wheat's, deep and corroded, they ring in 12/38-39, a little lower than normal. Well I was going to post a recap when I felt I was completely done searching there for the season, but....
Found a wheat, swung left, got a choppy 12/38-41 with a high tone finish. I have learned to listen to the tones here, they mean more than the numbers. I said "I'm digging this" to myself and out loud, like I'm sure many of us do. Popped the plug, pin pointed and scooped a hand full, a small accordion of silver spread out. HOLY SHIT I yelled, my first silver spill and a GREAT one. Scanned the hole, had another signal and found a 3" rusty nail in the same side as the Q's. That would explain the rust spot. And after that I called it a day.

When you all say crappy tone what exactly do you mean?
