Detecting in back of a WOT Coil.... Proves you don't get it all... LOLOL

Went back a few days ago, to an area that we found last week to be cut more than the norm....It has been beat to death lately by quite a few guys using the WOT coil and Sword... The Minelab CTX 3030 kicks A** plain and simple... It started out slow for me but saw that my friend got some silvers rather quickly... I stayed focused, but was trying to locate my own spot... In the meantime we met up somewhere in the middle and as I was talking and digging, I looked down in my scoop and staring back at me was a huge Gold Ring with a beautiful red stone.... size 13 1/2 ...OK now I was rocking... Walked away and another low tone.... I love it when they come back to back, this time in the scoop was a tooth... LOLOL Are you kidding me?... It was heavy and ugly... Put it deep in the pouch and on my way... Things were getting good for my friends...Silver here and a Gold there... Then I found 2 Mercury Dimes. Then a Sterling Religious medal...as always I rechecked the hole and another tone, this time it was a Gold Signet Ring dated 7-4-43 Three Gold in any one day, and I am one Happy Guy.... I couldn't believe it , How did they miss that? Two more silver dimes and a few Wheaties to top off a great hunt with great company... It just don't get any better than that... Happy Hunting....

You know Whydah, I had a strange event on the beach the other day while hunting over the wet sand with 12 x 15 sef. I got a pretty faint signal and proceeded to go after it, not sure just how deep it was but I'm guessing around 16 inches or thereabouts. Anyway, when I finally got it the scoop was full of crushed shell so I dumped it on the wet sand and spread it out with my foot and I made a few passes over it, but instead of the signal being stronger now, it was actually still pretty faint, even though I could see that dime laying flat in the crushed shell. After a few moments of raising and lower my coil I was stumped to discover that I lost the dime altogether at about 7 inches, yet when I dropped it back into the bottom of the hole from where it came I could read it again, even pinpointing it easily. Beats me, left me completely stumped as to what that was all about? Very strange indeed.

You had a good day and some nice scores for sure.

We had a great day buddy thanks for the lesson! Looks like that ugly ol' tooth shined up nice - maybe you'll be sportin' a new grill next time out!

Still can't believe the size of that ring! Must have fallen off of Magilla Gorilla!

I have had similar events like that...I call it the hallow effect...after time the object leaves residew in the surrounding area and makes the object larger in diameter... I still can't figure why after getting it out of the hole and passing over it, it seems to disappear. It mostly happens with dimes and very old nickels....

I give up.

The few times this has happened to me it seems the items maintained almost a creamy coffee color, not really a shade of red/rust but just a strange looking, very smooth brownish stain/tint.

Rock On !! You seem to find a lot of stuff. I'm jealous

 

[OBN]

POW! Whydah you are the man! Love the Big Red!

 

[saxon]

This happens because of the field effect on the coin as the detector doesn't get the normal back reading. The reason we miss coins sometimes.

 

[birdman]

You have skills!!!

 

[LootHunter]

That big red ring is really nice, congrats on the gold!

 

[MiamiFox]

[Back-of-the-boat]

I agree with that statement... possibility of the way I overlapped the area also... I gridded the heck out of it and pulled more out of there again the other day...

Great job! I need to find the sweet gold spot on my detector!! Nice saves!!!
