Walking my Pro

[sparkster]

Took my pro out for a little walk this morning.

I was at my river house which is coincidentally near the town I grew up in. It's a little desert town of about 10,000 people located on the Arizona, California border.
The Colorado river flows by there. Being as I'm home, I know all of the older areas of town and what was where if it isn't there now. I have been detecting median
Strips for a week or so now. Just an hour or so per day. Nothing crazy.

As I was walking my AT Pro this morning I just happened to run across a couple of Mercury dimes just lazyin around in the dirt. In addition to those, I found 7 wheat penny's. Nothing earth shattering, but a nice hunt. The mercs were 39, 44. The penny's were 26, 34, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44.

The ground mineralization in the desert turns most all the silver coins a dark gray. Anyway, I hunt in pro zero mode, iron Descrim on about 35, iron audio off, 2 bars below max on sens. Most silver dimes come up with an 82 VDI and once in a great while an 83, but not often. The wheats usually VDI 81 solid as a rock in that soil. Silver quarters VDI 88 for washington's, 50 cent pieces ring up 91 dead solid. I'm luck enough to have found 3 halves in the last couple weeks. A 1905-O Barber, a 1935 Walker and a 64 Kennedy. Most everything is less that 4" down in the rocky, sand soil.

All in all, a very nice morning. 3.25 in clad, 2 silver mercs and 7 wheats. Not bad for about an hour and 15 minutes of median strip hunting.

Thanks for reading -----------------Good Luck --------------------Happy Hunting

Nice huntin', sparkster! Too bad we don't have median strips around here, the original streets were too narrow. If we even have sidewalks, they're right along the street, grrrrrrrrrr.....

Nice walk and nicer finds. WTG. All I found today was cans, foil and a shotgun shell. It got me out of the house and that's the best medicine in the world. HH

Good job! and very good data to detect.
Thanks for sharing.

One of the by products of detecting is sharing your successes and your failures with other folks that enjoy the same thing you do.

Nothing better than getting up early, getting out into the sun and beautiful morning. Makes life a little better.
