Very strange day. I went to a park that I hunted about 2 months ago, but this time I had my new DFX instead of my older XLT (I've had the XLT many years but just recently got serious about MD).
I found 3 quarters, 5 dimes, 2 nickels and 15 cents. Initially I was pretty excited because I was thinking this was going to be a great park that no one else is hunting. I also found a gold ring and a gold plated bracelet today, both of which were near the surface.
My previous experience at this park resulted in some 2.50 in clad all at .5 to 3" deep. All of the coins I found today were between 4.5 & 6" deep. Once I got home and really looked at them, I realized the coins had probably been in the chips for a while to have worked that deep and have that much toning on them (see pics.).
I guess what this is leading up to is did I miss them the first time with my XLT even though I worked that area pretty thoroughly, Or is the DFX just that much better??
BTW, this is in the wood chip area that this happened.
