Can't say the same for the finds, but got some goodies anyhow!
At the overturned park, got another musket ball, this one appears to have been fired, also got an 1899 IH, an old (not that old) Union Pacific RR Lock, a B & Burnham Extra button, lost the damaged shank, a piece of clay pipe perhaps with some mark on it. Got a couple wheaties and some clad this week also, eh! But I really like the pulltab with instructions stamped on it!

WTG on all the different finds Tim. Would have been nice if the MD Gods favored a score more to older coins
for all your sweat and hard diggin. You got the locks so the goods must still be there. I'll give it a try today.

I'm guessing that more good finds are coming soon for you. I am also guessing the UPRR lock is a clue to where you've been hunting ... though it sounds like a lot of people have been there. I like the photo arrangement.

Congr !!!!!!!!!!!!! , now check different signals .

Yes sir!
My methodology was simple. If I got a beep, and could pinpoint a target, I dug it. Any range on the meter. So I did get a lot of zincolns and nickels and clad, and nails! But the real oldies eluded me this time with the exception of two IH's at that site.

Think I've lost that gut feeling on where to swing the coil. Maybe I just need beer.
