Farewell, farewell day turned into rainout, rainout day.\u00a0 Too bad, cause I pulled 2 silver coins before lunch, which is a pretty good rate, and I was hoping it would continue to a 4 or 5 spot. But the rain cut it short.<\/p>\n

Both were hard, the first was sitting over a large piece of iron; I couldn’t pinpoint it, nor tell if it was really a silver or an iron false, so I opened up a huge plug hoping to find it, and nothing.\u00a0 These are almost iron falses, so I decided to move on, but scanned again and I could swear I heard a silver down there.\u00a0 Opened up again, a little to the left, and there she was.\u00a0 I’ve prolly left alot of these in the ground.\u00a0 All silver coins are hard, but these are really hard. The hardest problem, at least for me, is telling ferrous affected deep silver from a ferrous false.\u00a0 People who think this hobby is — you swing, it beeps, you dig, are clueless.\u00a0 This hobby is intricate, intense, and detail-oriented, and while this example doesn’t really capture it, this hobby pulls in all the disciplines I hold dear.<\/p>\n

The second silver was on its side.\u00a0 This actually wasn’t hard for me, but was hard for the competition.\u00a0 The skill here is to simply to own an E-Trac.\u00a0 It is awesome at silvers on their side.\u00a0 Many competing machines are not.\u00a0 If you are a newbie, and want silver, buy an E-Trac.\u00a0 All the blather, bluster, and bullshit in the world will not change the fact that it is the machine, not the man.<\/p>\n

Back to the rain.\u00a0 It rained for about a half hour.\u00a0 As much as I love the E-Trac, it simply fails in the rain.\u00a0 So I called it a day, and I write a blog entry now while I look out at sunlight under which I could be trying to find more silver.\u00a0 Oh well.<\/p>\n

It occurs to me I should use the spare time to write a Friday Afternoon Album entry, but I don’t feel like it, and I have way too much to do (like clean up those silvers, one of which I have a hunch is a key date). Today’s album is: Bob Mould: Workbook.\u00a0 I’ll never get tired of this album (and I think it is 90s, not 80s, nice change, huh?).\u00a0 Download and enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
