I havent been detecting since I had my heart repaired about a month ago... My wife bought me a pair of black widow phones for our anniversary which was on the 8th, and I just had to go try them out today..
I wrote more specific on the phones in the "general" section, but I had to share what happened today.
I went to the good old soccer field that has given me so many nice finds, to see if I could actually find more with a top of the line headphone..
I got a good solid sound, and the VDI was saying "50 cents". I have yet to find a half dollar, and every time I get the $.50 showing, it usually bounces back and forth between that, quarter, dime, etc... It is always a bottle cap... Well I went at it at several angles, and it bounced back and forth between $.25 and $.50 and I was just about ready to NOT dig since I KNEW it would be a bottle cap... I went ahead and dug, since it was saying 7" deep, and I carefully laid the plug on it's side. I began to break it apart, and there were two quarters, one on top of the other solidly in the plug... Wow I thought, that was cool... About 10 minutes later, I get another signal that is showing $.50 and again, bounces back and forth between that and $.25 depending on the angle I swept over it... This time it says 6", and I dig the plug... Same exact thing! Two quarters stuck together in the bottom of the plug!
Now how in the world do two quarters stay together while sinking down that deep? My wife thought that maybe someone buried them, but I highly doubt that, not in a soccer field...
Any of you had that happen? I have gotten the mixed signal before, and found several coins in the hole, but never stacked together like that.
Clad take today was only $2.60, but it sure felt good to get out again... HH all!
