Back from a night to a place I've been to a few times in summer and did really well out of it, this time now the grounds wet I thought I would try again in another area of that park that I hadn't tried. 16 silvers not bad for 3 hours and only did a fraction of the area.
Happy Hunting.

Back from a night hunt with no8wire and Foiled again..nice to meet you at last Foiled.
Any how it was a hard going night, deep rubbish targets etc, pulled up a few penny's etc, giving up hope in finding even 1 silver..then decided to slowly head back to the car via a small tree line, got a nice bouncing 74 on the F75 and out popped a half crown followed by a shilling, came out mucky but a quick dip in cloudy ammonia and they have come up a little better.
Happy Hunting.

Enjoyed the day mate....thanks. What a shame location 2 wasn't quite as good as hoped. I still reckon location 1 has more secrets to reveal....might make a trip back there one day me thinks!
