IH, Barber, Merc, & more...
Hello all,,,
I hope you all had a good Saint Patric's Day...
Got out Sunday with Gary for the longest hunt of the year thus far. (about 4 hours worth) Run into a sweet spot at one of our local parks and started out by finding (3) deep Wheat cents. They were all at, or near, a depth of 8" down and was giving the Cz a very iffy signal, so I slowed down my hunting and covered the area pretty hard. Slowing down really paid off as the next deep signal turned out to be an 1895 IH. It was also giving off an iffy signal, Sometimes reading as a high-tone, but most of the time simply reading as iron, but it was pinpointing on a very tiny spot. The 1902 Barber rang in good and I thought it was silver when I heard it. The 1937 Merc hit about the same as the Wheats, and the IH, but it ended up being the deepest recovery of the day at a depth of close to 9" down.
Also found $1.25 in clad which brings my total clad count for the year up to $14.49.
Hope you've all had the luck of the Irish with ya this past weekend.
Good luck, & Happy hunting~
