Hello Fellow Hunters!
It would be great if every hunt was like the last two I had, but (and there is always a "but") things just don't happen that way!
Yesterday I spent 5 hours hunting in some of the nicest water/weather conditions (clear/calm/comfortable).
I located 87 targets and recovered 85 with the Dual Field. (I can be a bit tricky pinpointing, but obviously recoveries don't suffer too much!!)

19 bottle caps (1 with the glass neck screwed on)
coins, fishing tackle, odd bits of junk, several bullets, 7-nickles (2 buffalo), 8 dimes (1-roosie, 1-mercs), 5 -pennies ( 2-wheaties), 5-clad quarters.
A silver toe ring, a tiny 1/20th 10K gold filled ring and a small brass religious medal to name a few.
From the old coins it's obvious that even though the area has been hunted hard by myself and others, there is still stuff out there for the finding!!
Is this a great hobby or what!!??
After 5 hours of moving a ton or so of sand and small boulders I thought I might have to have a back hoe haul my 69 year old bones home, but somehow I made it and after a buisy days work today I found the strength to write this post.
This is the kind of hunt I have come to see as "paying my dues" by cleaning up targets so I won't be bothered with them next time!!
