Hello Everyone,
I went back to the “hunted Out Park” again today looking for a few more old coins. This time, I moved deeper in the woods by 10 feet (35 feet from the cleared edge). The first signal was a 1907 Indian Head cent about 5 inches down. About 15 feet away a strong tone (8) on the x-terra 705 (All Metal) was calling from about 4 inches. Upon popping a plug a round gold object was at the bottom I almost died thinking it was another gold coin; after a bit more excavating it turned out to be one half of a thickly gold plated locket (size of a quarter) with a lovely scripted letter “H” on the face. The surprise keeper was a faint bouncy high tone that appeared to be very deep. I dug the plug and much to my amazement a little piece of silver was at the plug bottom. After a quick cleaning a well worn no-date silver Trime emerged to see the light once again.
I enjoyed the hunt today with the nice relic and coins. Of course, no hunt park hunt would be complete without a little clad (dug on the way back to the car), so the collection increased by a few.
Thanks for looking,
GL & HH
