I had my first real hunt for the season today. I still have frozen ground 2” down in some of my spots.

The small public boat landing in my town has a grass “infield” area. I first hunted it last season. Several quick 30 minute hunts.

Very full of trash! Lots of people like to park and look across at the town.

Also great view of the fireworks when the Bay festival shoots them off every year.

I don’t know how I missed so many coins. I still have only concentrated on the fringe areas beside the pavement. I literally hit the same spots as last fall. Probably a dozen coins in 20 minutes. Very easy to pinpoint with the small coil. Targets were a solid lock on everything I dug. The few pieces of canslaw I dug were solid at 17.

I got a 17-18 number very shallow. Of course I needed to get the trash out, so I dug it up. Very damaged zippo lighter. My second ever. It will get sent in to be repaired.

I am not sure I will use my other machines this season. This thing is very fun and light. Very much worth the under 200 I spent on it.

btw, I didn’t plan on my gloves matching the machine....just a happy coincidence.
