Hello fellow diggers-
I usually do not hunt at all during the summer months due to the excessive heat and dry digging conditions, just not my cup of tea. But my brother who lives in in Dover, PA who has a strawberry farm, recently lost some of his farm equipment when he was plowing for pumpkins for the fall pumpkin season, and was desperate to help him find the missing parts that fell off his plow. For you farmers out there you probably know what I am talking about. There is a outer and an inner coupling plus the nut and the lock washers.
Living in Alexandria to Dover Pa is only a 2.5 hour ride, so I went up Friday night. I imagine the area is all but an acre, so we searched for the first hour doing grid paces and and bam, found the outer coupling, and an hour later found the inner coupling plus the nut and the lock washers all in the same hole. My brother was stoked and impressed that my Fisher F75 LTD found everything that was only about 3-5 inches buried.
I was listening to the "over load" signal, typically surface junk, etc, so this is what I was listening to. It was so rewarding to help my brother locate and find his missing plow parts in a relatively short period of time-inside 3 hours. I was doubtful due to the big area and heat. Being that my brothers farm dates to 1741, and has been a strawberry farm since the late 1930s, I decided to see if I could finally snag a large cent or an old silver coin.
Adacent to their house is an open filed that has had been farmed for berries since the 1930s. I was trying to locate my 15 year old nephews ninja throwing knife he lost recently in this area after finding my brothers plow equipment to no avail this time. However I did dig 3 mercs in one day, never have dug more than 2 silver coins period, so this made my day. A 1931, and 2 1944s. Not a bad day.
