HEY GUYS AND GALS
What a day !!!!!!
I,m still so excited....these kinda days are rare indeed !
I left this morning with a plan...I,m gonna clean out all the iron and junk so I can see what exactly is there.
Turned the detector on and first swing ..a clean crisp hit...the 1885 fishscale !!
Then 10 mins later ran into the iron.... 2 big pieces of iron lighting up the detector with the broken signals that it gives on the CZ 21. I removed the first piece and discarded it where it would never bother me again.... swung the detector again....still 2 signals !!! The broken signal was still there but....there was a clean crisp siganl just a couple inches from it now. Must have been masked by the first piece of iron.
Boy was I ever happy to see a big coin looking up at me from the over turned mud....only knew it was a big coin at first til I picked it up and seen the dark color..good sign that it is a silver in this environment. Then I could see Barber bust... knew I had something special...or at least special to me. Of course I had to run over to Ed to show him.
Pulled 3 more coppers outta the same area...both masked by iron. Ed moved to a different spot and I moved a few hundred feet to try another little spot. Same thing again...but this time I caught the signal between 2 pieces of iron before removing it. Dug a shovel full of mud and removed it ...checked the mud and the signal was still there loud and crisp...could tell it was a coin. So I took the shovel and cut the mud in half so would be easier to find with the pinpointer.
Waved the detector over the the mud ...IT WAS GONE...I frantically searched all around and nothing !!! So turned around and searched where I had laid the shovel...sure enough..picked up the signal in a little pice of mud that must have stuck to the shovel....and out pops my one dime !!!
By now ED had returned from his venture he managed to find a few little trinkets that were quite interesting (will post his finds tomo )....so we had a cigar and rested for a few minutes. He went to try another little spot down the beach and I returned to the silver spot as I had found the big bottle earlier and set it on a rock and the tide was coming in...didn,t want to lose it.
EVEN THE BOTTLE WAS MASKED !!!...had a big iron hit in the rocks...so I rolled the rocks away to get at the iron and there was the bottle sticking outta the mud under the rocks.!!!
I was walking fast to get back and swinging the detector fast....for whatever reason the CZ 21 does quite well with a fast swing...ZIP another clean hit...rolled the mud over and seen something round...thought was another coin....then I could feel the broken clasp on the back humped up...knew it was a button...dipped it in a couple puddles...STILL ON MY BUTTON RUN !!
One of them days where you can,t miss and will remember this one for awhile !!!
PS...I will be removing more iron and junk from sites in the future !

because that is nothing close to beat! Beat is when you walk around for an hour to dig one hole, and you hope there's actually a target down there that's not iron. What you have going is target practice!
