Being a little tired of clad, I wanted a hunt with a chance of something nice and old. But, I only had a couple hours.
I decided on the mansion as my good old stand by. It worked, but not like I figured.
I have been hunting this mansion for almost a year now and knew there had to be a way. I figured on trying this area of the grounds that has a whole LOT of air interference. I figured that with my experience on the AT-Pro now I might just be able to squeeze something out of there.
I figured I would ground balance and then desensitize until I could get a fairly stable platform. Sort of giving up some depth for better chance at hearing something.
I took about 10 swings and got this hit:
Now, I knew this section of ground very, very well. I could not have missed a blatantly obvious hit like this. Not in this particular spot. Heck, this was a SURFACE hit!!!
I passed my magic wand, brushing aside a leaf and there it was, right on top!
The only thing I can figure is that since this was a garden area, they must've spread some topsoil. It was probably brought in with that, as I said, I know this piece of ground.
But, that wasn't all. Just about 5 feet further on I got another surface hit. This one was a penny hit. There, laying right on top, was this penny:
Seems almost like a trick of my detector. LOL Here I was ready for a serious, slow, deep signal hunt and I find one of my best coins, lying on top. LOL
Here's the rest:
The little gold thing is just a dog tag. The chain looks like a pretty old one. Possibly a watch chain.
I'm going to take a while to do any more cleaning up on this one.
Thanks for peeking!
