It was a fairly calm evening tonight so I headed out to the soccer fields and gave it a go for a couple of hours. The ground is just starting to get drier but rain is scheduled for Monday which will make digging easier for a while. These soccer fields will always give up coins and pulltabs, and often some league soccer pins and medals, which makes for interesting "glints" in the hole from time to time!
Tonight was no different - I walked out into the middle of the fields first, and then wandered over to the sidelines where signals were more plentiful. Disc was set between iron and nickel, Sensitivity was around 8, and the usual pumping ground balance minus 1/8 of a turn negative. The Vaquero ran like a dream, as always, but tonight I learned why I always keep the disc set this low!!!
Hit the small sterling earring about midway through the hunt, and this got me going....kept finding zinc penny here, pulltab there; and then came across this somewhat choppy but steady signal that sounded less than an inch deep. Pinpointer registered it very close to the surface, and I don't remember it having any magical tonal qualities (LOL) - just sounded good enough to dig! Saw some sparkling reflections mixed up in the roots of the grass - looks like a nice (925) necklace weighing in at 3.1g
I can't see straight enough this late to know for sure, but it weighs like gold and discriminates out below nickel - tomorrow I'LL find out for sure!!! This Vaquero rocks!
