Haven’t got out but once since my last post in late May, and did pretty well today, nailing 4 mercs, a largie, and a bison. As near as I can tell, the bison is 1916, and the largie is 1851.
This is a permission site (a church), and I have not hit it in a while due to the fact that they changed priests, and it was a period where I moved onto other things.
But the new priest also gave me permission the other day, so off I went. The site, or at least this section of it, can be frustrating, as the ground is highly mineralized (the largie was at 4-6 inches, and was a tough signal, and all the other coins were shallow.
But, I’ve dug 43 silvers here over the years, so I must be doing something right. Today, all 6 coins were dug in the first 45 minutes, then nothing but a wheatie over the next 2 hours. I think I was moving from a bad mineralization section to an impossible one. I want to hunt 3-4 hours today, but the heat, bugs, and lack of late hunt finds sent me packing after 2:50.
This might be a site to try the Nox, to see if all the hype about how good it is mineralization is true.
Nice finds. My thought exactly, try the NOX with ground balance and noise cancel often. I am about 50/50 between the Etrac and the NOX. Normal sites with deeper silver get Etrac, sites with high trash, problem soil or I have already pounded with Etrac and might have masked silvers still around get the NOX.
