Hello Everyone,
After teaching today, I thought it might be fun to swing for an hour. There is an old trashy park many considered “hunted out”, so I have little, if any, competition located not far from my home that I’ve detected quite a bit. Being old, it’s very trashy but there are still goodies to be found if you are patient and work systematically when covering small areas at a time. Today, I expand my search pattern about 20 feet into the woods, thinking the park at one time was probably expanded to this area; an over the year’s plant and tree overgrowth has contracted the space. My suspicion was correct! The third target was really a multiple, a coin spill! The signal on the Minelab x-terra 705 (all metal) was a scratchy 34 at 8 inches. The spill contained three coins; two silver Mercury Dimes (1926 & 1929) and one Wheat cent (1919). Also found while hunting was a gold plated charm of some sort and clad coins. The trash take was fairly light for a change, with only about 25 pieces of (foil, pull tabs and small iron) junk.
Thank you for looking,
GL & HH
