Had a little time to get out today. So I decided to try a different school yard in the area.
I parked the truck, got out the Md., and no sooner got it turned on I got a solid signal -
20 foil. Move about a foot another 20, little more another 20 and right next to it a good
72 zinc signal. Well only 5 minutes into the hunt I figured a zinc is at least a start for the
day. Flipped the switch for the sunray zeroed in on the target and popped out the
supposed zinc. The first little fib zinc was a dime. Well I figured while I was down on
the knee the foil target was right there. I wanted to see what kind of trash I would have
to deal with. Lie # 2 foil turned out to be a nickel. So I went back and dug up the other
two fibs both were nickels. Needless to say all day I dug foil and zinc pennies.
I spent about 2 1/2 hrs today and only covered an area about 15' by 30' total take,
17 pieces of foil-- nickels, 20 zinc ---dimes, and only one true reading on a single penny.
I am heading back again tomorrow for more tall tales.
Having fun - digging trash
