Today's measly finds
Sorta bummed out on today's finds. Found a park that was established (according to the sign on the building) in 1928. Has a swing, slide, monkey bars,merry go round and some tetter totters and an old baseball field, along with the old community center. Man, this park equipment is OLD I tell ya. All metal and wood, no plastic !!! I was told that there was also a public swimming pool there in the 40's/50's also. You woulda thunk that there would atleast be some silver. I decided to go there today with the Garrett 1350 I just bought. It came with the 7x 12 coil and a HUGE second coil. As far as I am concerned, the gaint coil is pretty much useless when coin shooting. Coil's been used 2 times. Any one need it on the cheap? Now, back to the hunt. The 1350, with either coil was totally erratic. Sorta pist me off. It would say it was a dime or so, x deep. Pinpoint and dig way past the specified depth. NOTHING. Swing back over the hole and NOTHING. GHOST SIGNALS GALORE. Good thing I brought my 12 year old Garrett GTAx500 (back up) detector with me. I hunted for a hour or so with the new 1350. I found one 1967 quarter alongside the monkey bars. Seemed the more I swung the 1350, the worse it got. It has fresh batteries. So after a hour of pulling my hair out and finding nothing but ghosts, I went back to the car and got out old faithful. I went back over where I had been with the 1350 and found many tagrets,unfortunately, they were all bottle caps,pull tabs and a old square nail. I am pretty sure this park has been well hunted by the looks of the finds. 1965 Dime,1967 quarter, a newer dime and 2 newer Mems. and a large handful of old pull tabs ,2 old Coors cans and a pretty old Coke can. Am I right in assuming that the 1965 and newer dimes have no silver content? Has anyone else experienced very erratic behavior with the Garrett 1350? I tried resetting it, turning it on and off, tried just about every preset program, different frequncies,volumes,tones,etc. Same thing. Hope I didn't buy a piece of junk when I bought this new Garrett. The pinpoint feature on the 500 is super easy to use and is pretty accurate, more than I can say for the 1350. Anyone got any suggestions for me?
