Large Cent, IHP, tiny silver and Surprise sterling spoon

[Royn2751]

The weather couldn't have been better. I revisited an old ballfield/park where I've had success in the past. Negligible emi permitting a cranked up 800. Found a wheatie within a few swings. The large cent followed. Five more wheats, much clad and a nice early button with an intact shank rounded out the day.
I knew that I'd be going back the next day hoping for another bucket lister.
The following day I chose another line across the field. I wasn't disappointed. A readable 1902 IHP followed by a small silver cross ring, a sterling crucifix in 2 pieces, another load of clad including a sacagawea dollar and then a mangled sterling spoon.
When I got home and got the dirt off the spoon I saw a design visible in the bowl. I straightened it as much as I dared . Google came up with the same image in the first result.
My takeaway:
Dig iffy signals
Crank sensitivity when possible
It's never dug out
Thanks for looking.

Nice hunt Royn. Seems you found everything but the kitchen sink. I always believe in the adage that a site is never hunted out but I may have to rethink that after seeing everything you hoovered out of the ground in your photos. Good luck with your hunts. Walt

Thanks Walt,
I've only concentrated on approximately 10% of the site. Unknown treasure awaits.

There is only one thing I would like to add.....spend as much time as possible with your machine and try to learn it's language.....it is big fun to me and pays off in a matter of having more fun...

I knew that I'd have to go back at the earliest opportunity and I wasn't disappointed. After digging a bit of trash and a fair amount of clad another Matron Head revealed itself. I may have to seriously grid this spot to see what else the detecting gods will let me uncover.
Thanks for looking.
