In the Midwest, detecting in December Could be the last hunt of the Year.

JW,

Having lived up in the Midwest, you understand what I mean when I say that each time you go out detecting in December, you recognize that it might be the last hunt of the year. We had some single digit temperatures settle in here last weekend. But today found us enjoying temperatures in the mid 50's. I decided to take the Advantage out for what will probably be the last hunt of 2004.

I have had a lot of success with it this year and I have been especially pleased with the 5-inch Excellerator coil. It certainly can separate the treasure from the trash. Today was no exception. I drove to an old house here in town that was built in the 1860's. It has to be one of the earliest homes built here as we were not settled until 1855. I obtained permission to hunt and proceeded to work around the small front yard. I typically run my discrimination at about 2:30, so as to still pick up nickels and gold jewelry. Today I decided to increase the discrimination a bit, as the ground was pretty frosty and I didn't want to dig any unneccessary holes. 90 minutes later, I had pretty well covered the entire yard.

It had produced 25 coins, a few small pieces of copper tubing and a couple scraps of brass harness buckle. I found 14 memorial pennies, one clad dime, one Jefferson nickel, 6 Wheat pennies including a 1919, 1920, 1941, 1945 and two 1951's. I found an 1880 Indian Cent and an 1884 Indian Cent. But the find of the day was a beautiful 1914 Barber dime. I like to hunt for old coins and consider finding this Barber dime to be a great way to end a wonderful year. I plan to spend quite a bit of time this winter making arrangements for next years hunts. I can't wait to take the 5-Inch Excellerator back to places that I hunted 25 years ago. I am confident that it will allow me to find those masked coins that are now being missed by those folks using larger coils.
