Uninspiring but a good hunt nonetheless. I got to the park just after noon and found a 20' spraypainted circle partially overlaping where the carny trailer was where I had found two rings in the past two days so I figured I better hit it hard. If they're putting in something (it's right behind the current flagpole) it may be my last chance there. I set discrimination to 0, sens to 75, tones to 1F (I'm getting to like this one, it has varying pitch and intensity and is close to my old Musky) and left the mode at default. Initially I was getting lots of falsing so I dropped one frequency notch and that solved it.
Sadly, no rings. I was digging anything potentially ringlike and that netted me some pull-tabs and pull-rings. Also a couple grommets. And a second laser pointer tip not far from where the first was.
As noted, this was a site I have hit twice before this week so I was pleased to find a respectable group of coins. All clad, but that is the norm here.
While digging a woman in a pants suit walked up who looked familiar and I said "hello" with a big smile. She wasn't who I initially thought (at first I thought she was a former co-worker).
She said: "I don't think he'll like you digging here!"
"Who, Tom? He gave me permission. Tom Xxxxxxxxx." (The water, sewer & park spuervisor).
She turned and left without saying anything further and I called after "I do cover my holes well, as you can see."
She hustled over to the maintenance shack where a town truck was parked and I figured "Putting the nasty mouth on me with the town staff."
When I got home I checked and, hoo boy, she is the town supervisor. May have to send a flowery e-mail tomorrow as I really don't want to see a "no metal detecting" sign up in the future. I've been hitting that site hard since 2003 and I have a good relationship with the park staff and superintendant. Hopefully he cooled her off.
