<\/a><\/p>\nThe last time I was at this site was in May, 2010, when I was still learning the E-Trac.\u00a0 I pulled a walker on that day, and a few deep wheats, but not much else,\u00a0 I wrote the site off at the time, due to the low density.<\/p>\n
But, you learn alot in the intervening years, and I was to meet friends for lunch in that direction, so I figured I’d give the site another go,\u00a0 It was still really low density, and every time I said — just one more rank of the grid — if I don’t get a good tell, I’m outta here — I seemed get a good tell, so I soldiered on to a rather pedestrian hunt which eventually produced the rosies, on the same rank of a grid, about 20 minutes apart.<\/p>\n
It might be another 2 or 3 years before I’m back here, as there isn’t much left of the site, but at least it is another old legacy site that I’m able to update in my database.<\/p>\n
Did have 2 hunts earlier in the week, each of which might otherwise merit their own entries, but we don’t like blogging failure.<\/p>\n
The first was at the field site that produced that really sweet 1803 half reale, as well as that hideous large copper.\u00a0 I spent 5 more hours in that field, and did not dig a single coin.\u00a0 Are you kidding me?\u00a0 I guess that is what field hunting is.\u00a0 I was praying for clad, just give me something to dig.\u00a0 I only got one high tone in 5 hours, and it was a colonial era buckle.\u00a0 Not only that, my battery died — this is a fully charged, supposedly 18 hour E-Trac battery, that died after 5 hours.\u00a0 Are you kidding me?\u00a0 I hate leaving time on the table, especially at a permission site.\u00a0 Fortunately, the permission doesn’t expire, and I will be back.\u00a0 Field hunting has a certain contenting appeal to me, even if you rarely ever dig anything.<\/p>\n
The second was Farewell Farewell at the other site I’ve been working, the one that produced a sixspot the other day.\u00a0 Dug plenty more wheats, met my wife for lunch, drank Victory beer at a local restaurant, went out and dug more wheats, and didn’t even close out the site.\u00a0 Maybe this week, we’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Pulled a couple of rosies today.\u00a0 Woohoo.\u00a0 Silver coins are hard to find, so we’ll take ’em all. The last time I was at this site was in May, 2010, when I was still learning the E-Trac.\u00a0 I pulled a … Continue reading
