95 degrees. 100% humidity.\u00a0 For all the whining back in February when it was too cold to exist, but I was pulling 65 silvers from that site at the time, I was in my climatic element today. Sweat was literally dripping everywhere, mixing with dirt, and where I wasn’t muddy, I was totally soaked.\u00a0 A pleasant image in your mind’s eye for sure.\u00a0 And the sweat was the only thing that gave even a modicum of dampness to the bone dry dirt, as it hasn’t rained in forever around here.\u00a0 But, I love it.\u00a0 I like heat.\u00a0 Bring it on.\u00a0 Global warming to the max, baby!\u00a0 Truth be told, however, I’d rather freeze and be working a 65 silver site than be comfortable and moving from one barely double digit (or less) site to the next.<\/p>\n

Anyway, after that ridiculous preamble, onto the detecting.\u00a0 Back to yesterday’s site, which, unfortunately, shrunk after looking at more maps and aerials — buildings, fill and grade, and so forth making certain zones worthless.<\/p>\n

I was using the stock coil rather than the big unit, as I suggested I might, and noticed no difference in mineralization or noise.\u00a0 The big unit, as the cards sat, might have been a better choice, as it would have covered the ground faster.\u00a0 I expected better performance from the stock at this highly mineralized, ferrous infested site, but I was wrong.\u00a0 Maybe I’m just comfortable with the big unit (when its working, of course), in pretty much any ground at this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
