I’ve been out the last two weekends experimenting on previously pounded sites with my XP Deus and my new 11 inch X35 coil to see if the added capabilities this new coil brings to the table can make a difference on these sites. At this point I’m not convinced this new coil is any better than my original coil, but the jury is still out. However, I did find a few things…..
A couple coppers, flying eagle, barber dime, buffalo nickel, White House token, buttons and a mangled wax seal fob were among the finds.
The frustration comes from the thrill of seeing a copper in the hole, only to be followed by the let down when you realize it is either toast or slick.
In the hole ------------> Cleaned
In the hole ------------> Cleaned
The aluminum White House token probably survived so well because it was in the middle of a cornfield and not in contact with any iron in the ground. I never realized the White House was painted white to hide the black stains from when the British burned it in 1814
Wasn’t sure what this odd mangled looking pendant thing was, but fellow T-Net'er Don in SJ solved the mystery on a Facebook ID Me forum. It turns out to be a mangled wax seal fob, missing the stone. It is very similar to the one on the left that his son dug.
Good luck out there and may all your coppers be pristine
