"iffy" signals produce silver and gold

Went to my favorite old amusement park woods again today. Not much left in the little section I've been searching. So I concentrated on those "iffy" signals. You know, the ones where you're not sure what they are, but they have possibilities. I dug a few nickel signals that turned out to be wads of aluminum foil. It took a while before I found anything worthwile. Finally, a fluky nickel signal produced a little pickle fork.



Then a funny penny/dime signal turned out to be a very worn 1927 Standing Liberty Quarter, which was 5 or 6 inches deep and on edge.



The last find was another fluky nickel signal about 7 inches deep, which turned out to be a little 10k gold ring.



These were the only good finds I made for the whole afternoon, but it sure was worthwhile. That Standing Liberty Quarter was the 589th silver coin that I've gotten out of these woods. HH

Wow, Bob, those woods sure did produce a lot of silver for you. It's very similar to some of my parks I've been hunting here in S. Cal.

Congrats on your SLQ and gold ring. Pretty soon over here all that will be left in the ground is shallow clad/trash, and the "iffies".

Outstanding. Those iffy signals often turn out to be some deep conductive target. My last civil war relic hunt was at a site that has been hammered by several detectorists, the only good targets left are deep ones it seems. I never had one great signal the whole day. Dug Iffys only and managed to get some nice CW bullets from 8 to 10 inches deep. Good Job, Nice ring and love the standing lady, that's my favorite Qtr.
