Applying What We’ve Learned (so far!)

OK, so now we’ve learned the basic functionality of the X-TERRA. We’ve

learned the importance of an accurate setup. I’ve introduced you to the

various coils available. And I’ve mentioned the importance of hunting

where people gathered. Now it is time to talk a little bit about an actual

hunt.

The rst thing I do when I arrive at a new site is to visually survey the area.

If it is an old farm site, can I see any traces of where the buildings were?

Is there a creek nearby where the family got their water? How about a

grove of trees where children played or grownups rested after a hard

day’s work? If there are the remains of old buildings, can I see where the

clothesline once was? Can I determine where the back door was? The

reason I mention the clothesline and backdoor is because these are two

of my favorite places to hunt. I’ve dug quite a few pieces of silverware

and several rings that were apparently thrown out with the dishwater.

And when the overalls were hung on the line to dry, they were always

hung upside down. As such, if there were any coins in the pockets, there

is a good chance they fell out when those overalls were blowing in the

breeze. These are just a few of the things I think about as I plan my hunt.
