Long story short, if you don't want to watch the videos, I had to goto work on Saturday to wait for a FedEx truck. While I was waiting, I detected the grass area on the buildings property. There used to be 3 small play areas on the property from way back in the day. I have found silver here before. But there are nails every 6 inches or so. No exaggeration. I even used the Eclipse coil here, to try to get between the nails but no luck. So today, I told myself I will dig every single sound/ half sound/ everything. I am glad I did. The last pic is of all the nails. The pic to the right of the merc I dug, is of a nail that was in the hole with it. It came up as -22 but solid beeps. It is super tarnished. Enjoy!

Nice vids, I really enjoyed them...but you never said if the package ever arrived LOL. Ring is always exciting but the silver really gets the heart fluttering. Nails...sometimes you just gotta do what you have to do. Get out the bad stuff so mother earth will give you the good stuff. Happy hunting. :thumbsup:

Nice going!

It's great to dig keepers out of those high trash sites. Your patience paid off.

Sorry! We (my boss and I) missed the package by 20 minutes. When I saw that, I went back to check and it was gone! So I had to call FedEx and I guess the driver knew he shouldn't have left the package there so he went back and picked it back up. But none of this is FedEx's fault. Im actually glad he did that. That package would have been gone by monday. (Its a high traffic area where people cut through our property to get to the train station.

I should also mention I had a can of monster energy drink thrown at me from a car as well. Missed me by about 6 feet.
