Finally! Some finds! September 17, 2013 12:02AM |
Well the change to the F75 was a good one. I'm back to finding stuff again. Got out today for about an hour and couldn't handle it anymore. It seems I have what we call in the south "the crud" which is basically chest congestion and sinuses and everything that feels like the Flu but it's not the Flu. Anyway, my stamina ain't the greatest from it...but I couldn't stand being cooped up in the house reading about people finding stuff. I was under orders from the wife to stay at home...so I snuck off to a site close to home 
This site is one I got to late...the boys I hunt with had already picked it clean during my year break from hunting. They found quite a bit in it, but it's so small of an area that it doesn't take long to cover the entire thing. There's one section of it that is thick with iron...in which this was the first site I took my AT Pro to, hoping to ease something out of the iron. I left there empty pouched with the AT Pro. Now one thing about it...it has been extremely rainy this year on this end of the state. But since September hit...it hasn't rained a drop, and the ground is extremely hard right now. So it's no fun when you try to stick your digging tool in the ground and it doesn't move.
Here are my finds from about an hour today at this site with the F75. It was the first go there with an F75...well in experienced hands. One of the guys has an F75 as well, but insists on hunting it in disc mode...you just can't do that here and expect to find much. Motion all metal is where it's at in this soil...gives you a much better understanding of what is beneath the ground, as all these signals by their ID numbers, were for the most part, bouncy iron signals...which in disc mode, makes it sound choppy and not a good hit. The Case pocket knife is not Civil War period but the rest of the stuff is...the knife was an added bonus. Case pocket knives are my favorite knives. I can't wait to head back to some of the sites these boys have dubbed as cleaned out...as well as hitting some newer sites this fall/winter.
