<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 7849001, member: 10461&quot;]Thanks.&nbsp; That was the whole idea with that one.&nbsp; [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] manages to evoke some of that same “in the moment” feel with his videos, even though the targets are “posed” on the plugs or in the holes a few moments after the fact.</p><p><br /></p><p>There’s nothing wrong with that- it spares the viewers from having to sit through some of the dead dig time.&nbsp; But I liked showing the whole process, from the moment of the first signal, to the pinpointing, the opening of the hole, and the probing and final recovery.</p><p><br /></p><p>That exact moment of discovery, when the target first comes to light, is where all the adrenaline is.&nbsp; You can watch it happen when I discover the Barber dime in my video, and get <i>way</i> too excited about it, just like a kid.&nbsp; A well-worn Barber dime is not something I turn cartwheels over if it’s in a dealer’s junk silver bin, but if I’m pulling it out of the dirt where it’s lain for nearly a century, then yeah, it’s a thrilling thing to me, even if it’s a relatively common silver coin otherwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>With some live-action, “in the moment of discovery” shots, we’d get to hear [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER]‘s immediate reactions, which would be fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>(“I’ll take it!” seems to be a trademark line of his.&nbsp; And why not?&nbsp; Indeed!&nbsp; I’ll take all the silver I can find!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve Smith, my local buddy and original detecting mentor here, posts full live action shots in <a href="https://m.youtube.com/c/millenniumdawg/videos" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://m.youtube.com/c/millenniumdawg/videos" rel="nofollow">his YouTube videos</a>.&nbsp; The downside to that is that in one video, as I recall, he blurts out an accidental profanity in his (justifiable) excitement over popping a really nice 1831 Bust half dime.&nbsp; LOL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
