I have to pace them off from landmarks, and this site doesn&#8217;t have many), but I set up to expand my grid, and managed to pull 4 modern silver coins (the oldest a 1926 dime), and 6 wheaties.\u00a0 All were deep.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/040813z.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1759\" title=\"040813z\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/040813z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"491\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/040813z.jpg 491w, https:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/040813z-300x290.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/040813z-309x300.jpg 309w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was only here for less than 2 hours, and this has never been a 2 per hour site, at least not since the early days, and prolly not even then.\u00a0 Both rosies, however, were in the same hole, so it is really 3 events.\u00a0 But hey, I guess I&#8217;ll work it some more this week, and see how it goes.<\/p>\n<p>I will say that this could be about the big unit.\u00a0 All the silvers found at this site before this year were found with the pro coil, and I always felt this site was meant for a bigger coil, given that most of the old coins in the past seemed right at the edge of the pro coil&#8217;s range, and its a very clean, sparse site.\u00a0 While today&#8217;s coins were deep, I was hitting them well.\u00a0 We&#8217;ll see how it goes the rest of the week (I don&#8217;t really have any other site in development right now anyway, tho plenty to work on closing out that are not promising).\u00a0 I may even consider gridding out the hotter sections I did with the pro coil, tho that will take forever, and has had mixed results at previous sites where I&#8217;ve tried it.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that this site is now at 24 silvers.\u00a0 Once a site gets above 21, it almost always jumps to the high 30s (only one exception), and usually makes it to honeyhole status.\u00a0 I wonder why?\u00a0 Its that All or Nothing thing again.\u00a0 I think I get the killer instinct at this point &#8212; I feel it now, tho I never saw this as more than a high teens site in the past.\u00a0 Amazing what a different coil (or different machine), could possibly due to breathe new life into a site.<\/p>\n<p>The other good news is that I saw 82 on my car thermometer today.\u00a0 Are you kidding me?\u00a0 Maybe even warmer the rest of the week.\u00a0 Finally.\u00a0 Bring it on.\u00a0 Now we need rain &#8212; ground is parched for the first inch, but damp below that.\u00a0 Grass is still very short, unlike this time last year.\u00a0 That&#8217;s worth an inch, and can also be a factor at better success at this site.\u00a0 Given how everything seemed on the edge of detectability here in the past, a note to myself to possibly regrid when the grass is this short (don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be able to do that this year before it grows).<\/p>\n<p>All cleaned up, a couple more 61 dimes for the pile, just like Saturday &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/040813.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1758\" title=\"040813\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/040813.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/040813.jpg 478w, https:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/040813-300x289.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/040813-311x300.jpg 311w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back to my favorite silver municipality, which was really good for me in 2011, to try a new site, a very small, but old playground in a very old neighborhood.\u00a0 Site completely dudded, not even a single wheatie.\u00a0 Small sites &hellip;
