It has been so hot and dry for the last several weeks the ground is like concrete until you break it up then it's like sand. Temps in the 90s so this morning I was at the new park with the F70 to finish up the last section behind the stage at 5:30 am. It was already 71 degrees and humid as all get out.
The first signal of the day was a dime at 3" like everything else I've found in this park. Second signal was mixed up but good high tone. VDI was bouncy from 44 -81 but the high number kept showing up. The F70 said it was 4"-5" deep and wouldn't lock on to a number. Seemed odd so may as well dig a bit. At 3" I pulled out a newer pull tabs. I swept the coil over the hole and the high tone and number was still there. I maxed out the carrot and got a weak hit at the bottom of the hole. I dug out another 3" of dirt and the pinpointer said I was close. 2" more dirt came out and my last scoop I had the target in my hand. Moved the dirt around a bit and there it was ..... A freaking Barber dime!!!!!! 1901, not in the best shape but it's MINE!!!
I can't wait for some rain so I can return to look for the deeper stuff. I gotta say I am definitely gaining faith in the F70. Settings today were disc=21, sens=75, thresh=-1, speed=de, notch=1, tone=3H. Thanks for looking.
