I thought that I would give the Tejon some swing time today, rather than my ole standby, my modded Cibola. I got a late start and didn't get to the first site until a little after 7:15.
I decided to hunt under some trees because of the dew was thick at other places. I've hit this first site hard many times before and was happy to still be able to find a 1963 Rosie Dime.
The ground was a little too hard to dig, so after about an hour I decided to go another site. I've hunted the site once before and did pretty good. The site is really old, because the curbs along the street are the old limestone laid curbs.
I set the Tejon up with just enough discrimination to discriminate out a iron nail and the sensitivity was set high as it could go without getting any chatter, which was about halfway into the red.
Most of the coins that I was digging were deep and were giving a clicking and popping audio response. I could tell it wasn't iron because the clicking and popping was a little smoother. The deepest coin was deeper than my ProPointer was long, of things turned out to be a frigging Memorial Penny.
I finally got my coil over a 1950 Rosie Dime. It gave a very faint audio response. I think I'm going to go back to that site Saturday with the Tejon again, but this time with the 5.75 inch concentric coil attached and see what happens. I just know that there are some really good finds still at that site. Maybe the smaller coil can unmask them. We'll see!
