Excuse me... YOUR LAWN SUCKS!

The lady I approached last week to beep her yard turned out to be a bust. Turns out, the yard is low lying in the neighborhood. Years of rainy seasons result in what is called "sheetflow", where silt from the area is deposited on the land as the water reaches the drainage canal. The deepest targets on my 350 were coins! 38 cents in modern clad, the quarter was a VA state, bottom of a 10 inch hole, that was filling w/ water as the ground is saturated, peak of our rainy season. Almost no trash, if there is, its way to deep. Oh well, its not like I really was into it at 95 degrees, 1 to 3 pm...that was optimum nap time.

Good thing I had my electrolyte sport drinks w/ me

I am so not gonna sweat it. I am blessed to have found some goodies along the way, there are lots of places to hit, and lucky to get out when I can. Just need to get an earlier start, and cant wait till a cool front comes in Oct, bring the temps back down to the 80's.

Got permission to hunt an 1800's farm. I couldn't stick my Lesche in the ground. Solid rock. Can't believe grass could grow on solid rock. Can't win them all!

age does not equal nor guarantee good finds. In fact, the older the property - the more difficult finding anything of value - esp. if it was a farm.
I remember hunting a very old colonial property after they dozed the house and removed. hunted all day and nothing but junk. As I was getting
ready to leave, I got one last good signal. There on top of the ground was 1865 Indian head penny. I just laughed and left.

There will be days like that, your good at detecting and the awesome finds await!

 

[CMDiamonddawg]

that's interesting

You just never know. I'm sort of coming to believe that the older the site the more chance it's been hunted before leaving less treasures to be found. In an earlier post I had mentioned how I dream of finding an untouched home from 1800 with a couple of acres filled with old coins and relics.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. You found a few coins and got out and did some dirt fishing. HH.

You worked very hard for that 1865 indian, so I would put that one on top of all the others! I would jump up and down if I found one that old!
