Hello Friends,
I'm new to this forum, but not to metal detecting. Been hunting for about 20 years now. Since purchasing a Minelab Explorer SE in Jan., my '07 silver/oldies coin counts have skyrocketed. I've already found 150 silver coins this year, plus a whopping 652 wheaties from 16 local parks and 1 middle school. Geez, it's only the end of March.
Today was my best 1 day hunt ever. The "silver magnet" (Expl. SE) performed flawlessly today!! Got a new "personal best" from a county park in the Los Angeles area. 12 silver coins today, with one hole containing a merc and a rosie. I just didn't think it could be possible to find that much silver at a park around here in one day. I'm still wondering why so many good finds were still left at this park, being one of the oldest in the city (1911). Could it be all the iron in the ground masking the good targets? I was digging quite a few rusty nails and bolts that sounded like good targets, and rarely had a threshold tone that lasted more than a few seconds. Most of my coins came from an area between and around two large palm trees in the park. I have done so well detecting around these trees at every park I've been to. The better thing is that I've only hunted less than a third of this park. It should produce more. We'll see
So far from 5 hunts this week at the park, I've found a total of 36 silver coins.
The pic is from two days of hunting at the park. I found 7 silvers a couple of days ago there. Got the SS ring, SS cross, and gold religious pendant today also.
Two Day totals:
1 '48 Washington
11 Rosies ('46, '48, '50, '51, '52(2), '56, '58(2), '59, '64)
6 Mercs ('20, '40, '42(2), '43(2))
1 '45S War Nickel
27 wheaties
2 Canadian Pennies ('28, '47)
Happy Hunting Everyone,
