I returned to "Bucket List Park" yesterday. Armed with the DEUS, I started to swing the coil at 12 P.M. I just received a Brand New Garrett Carrot the day before, so that I can send my old one back for service. Using the new Carrot I noticed an awful lot of EMI on my DEUS. I didn't connect the two at first.
Picking away at some clad and a few deep wheat pennies, I finally dug out a really small target. I had a feeling of what it was, since I have recovered a Capped Bust Half Dime in this park earlier this year. I broke out my magnifying glass and sure enough,, I was looking at an 1858 O Seated Half Dime. My first Seated Half Dime.
About an hour later my Garrett Carrot started to konk out. I changed the battery and it worked fine on the next target. Then nothing. There is definitely something wrong with this instrument. Looks like I'll be sending 2 Garrett Carrots back for repairs.
I stopped the hunt about an hour after finding the Seated Half Dime. I got tired of scooping dirt and passing it over the coil like in the old days. I guess I'm spoiled. I was perfectly okay with whatever the rest of the day would bring me.
