Hi all, been hanging out here for a while, never thought I'd ever find something like this to post. Mostly satisfied with the exercise I get looking for clads and occasional rings in baseball parks, I read an article about research and decided to try it. Found out an old 1 by 2 block open lot in my town used to be a park founded in 1890 nothing else was ever built there. Arrived and found the grass/weeds to be fairly high already, (it's been a wet spring here), only one portion was low enough to detect and I got a signal on the Garrett GTP, a silver dollar at 3 inches. Yeah, right, last one of those I dug out was a big Stanley tape measure at almost 10 inches. So I dig up a 5 inch plug and re-scan the hole...nothing. Scanned the plug...ding ding...still says silver dollar. I turn the plug over and I see the glinting reeded edge of a big silver coin. Did that
before and got Long John Silver's kid's buccaneer tokens on several occasions, so I was literally trembling when I pulled out a peace Dollar. Almost wet myself...(getting on in years, don't ya know). Man,there really is nothing like a little research, Can't wait to go back after the city cuts the grass, thanks for reading and for all your great posts.
