Detecting Pounded Sites Is Really Fun But Not Too Rewarding

I was swinging away at 6:30 this morning to beat the heat. I decided to give the Deeptech Warrior a try at a pounded site that wasn't on a busy and noisy street. It was smooth sailing and it was a lot of fun, but I didn't find anything worth mentioning. I found that the Warrior works best with the Deus wired Backphones and not running it at full throttle.

At the second site I decided to use my Deus with my homemade full cup headphones that have the Deus speakers installed. They knock out most all of the surrounding noise and give a clean crisp audio tone. I needed those because the site was located on a busy street. I've hunted this site numerous times before.

My first target was a V Nickel, it gave a funky audio and bouncy ID numbers. It might have been on edge. This is my 3rd or 4th V Nickel for the year. My next target was a gold plated earring with fake diamonds. It sure sounded good though. My third good target was a piece of sterling silver. I was somewhat surprised when I got a 93 ID number and soft audio tone, because I couldn't believe that I could have missed it on previous hunts.

I also found 4 wheat pennies, a few clad coins and a BUNCH of junk. I'm really having fun going back over sites that I've pounded using different detectors and search coils. But it's getting about time for some virgin ground.​

Thanks! It's a challenge to find something good at a pounded site. That's what makes it fun. I do much better when I SLOW down and concentrate.

Cheer up tab! You found silver and a v nickel. Probably better than the average day for the average TNet member. Nice!

Nice finds. It’s always nice to get out and hunt after a long winter. It’s still early in the year for this hobby. You’re just getting started tabman. Silver and V nickel? That’s always good in my book. Congrats.

You never know what is still out there. I hit an old church last year and pulled a Morgan out, and I learned afterwards that a couple of guys had recently been out there with their MDs for a couple of days. Good work!
