Even experimental days can be interesting

[WHADIFIND]

I just wanted to get out for a bit. I wanted to try out a theory for finding deeper targets.
So, I wasn't expecting much and pretty much got what I figured. With just a couple
surprises.




This is a very well worn place. I just wanted to see if I could
pull some interesting targets from below where I normally look.

When this big palooka came out I thought that maybe I should
put it back. It looks like something that might be anchoring the continent! LOL



Then, there was this, um, uh, token Was about 7-8 inches down.



This was funny because I got the hit, around 60 or so, and happened to notice that I only
had 1 bar left on the battery! It was about 8 inches down!! I think I was impressed!
Silver is silver. Still no drought. (maybe gold )

Anyway, I changed the batteries and went back to looking for a few minutes. I got another hit
around 59-60 and deep. I decided to do a bit of an archeological uncovering. I slowly removed
layers until I finally got down to the target. It was a 1957 nickle and it was a FULL 11 inches deep!

No secondary targets, just this coin.

Yeah, I'm thinking I am rather impressed.

Fun day! Or at least couple of hours anyway!

Thanks for peeking!

Thanks for sharing...

Interesting day. The carriage bolt looks like to a truss for bridge. Tokens are cool, good chance you'll never see another like that one again. That gecko is looking hungry.

I don't have to tell you, but that's how we learn, isn't it? Do you think the token was counter stamped or was it always a J J J token?
I learned something today too: Google Earth doesn't always show all details, lol. I found an older school's grounds was much bigger than it seemed online. I only found some clad, but now have another place to hunt when the mood hits me.
I have had a couple days that I said I was only going to dig nickel signals, but find it too hard to resist those 84-90 repeaters! GL and keep us informed.

Oh, I NEVER ignore signals that high, I just, sometimes, open up the bottom side and try to identify a low signal before I dig.

About the "token", I know I've seen this very same "J.J.J." on something before, here. Just can't recall where. I'm trying to figure out a
way to clean up the token a bit more to see if something else is there. It was pretty deep also! But, this coin doesn't appear to me
that it's going to lend itself to any cleaning. Besides, unless it's autographed by George & Martha Washington, I doubt it's going to
ever be worth anything. LOL

I'll post some more pics, if I can gain anything. But, ya know, it might be just tired eyes but I think I see a rather large
something that looks like a number on the side without the JJJ. Anyone else see that?

 

[WHADIFIND]

Welp, I guess this one will stay a mystery unless someone recognizes the style.
The only other detail I could make out was that they used square periods.

Still, neat to me.

Howdy Eagle Four-Eyes, that warnic is a real beauty! Looks like some good steps on the reverse, and in quite a bit better shape than is usually found or CRHing. Your experiment definitely paid off IMHO, though I imagine that Blingey in not impressed.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Looks like Blingie is going to start coin collecting! Nice finds!

Well if there are any wayward bridges in your area...we won't tell!
I vaguely remember JJJ on something, just can't clear the cob webs out of my mind, if I did there'd be nothing left!
Great detail on the nickel!

Got skunked on the sidewalk tear out, they had already put the fresh fill in. So went to a school. Just clad and trash, again. On the way back to the truck I was begging for a gold ring or coin (lol)! God has a sense of humor, very next target gold color aluminum ring and a squarish button (?). I have to remember to ask for the real thing next time!
I need to get my son in law to show me how to post pics, you guys are missing pics of all my can slaw! Lol!

If you ask for that, don't be surprised if you just get a coke can.

Thanks!

Ya know, I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I'm going to offer a prediction. Your silver/gold drought is going to end in the very near future. Two weeks, tops.

Happy Hunting!

Only way to get it is to get out there and get it. Kinda like playing grenades~if you lob enough, one is bound to get the target. I see Blingie with his little mini crystal ball now....
