this is to show you, that Goes4ever digs trash too.........and a lot of it, I want people to see everything I dig is not just treasure!

went back to an old playground/ballfield area I have hammered in the past, last year I pulled 20+ silvers, countless wheats out of this area, but never a single old nickel. Well today I went determined to dig a buffalo or V nickel, this place is about 100 yrs old...........


well I tired so hard to dig old nickels, closest I got was a 1950 jefferson! Look at this pile, I dug every iffy signal I got, I didn't care what it registered as. You see the large square rust thing? Well I always try to dig large iron like that out in case it is masking stuff, well I pulled it from the hole, rescanned the hole and got a sweet tone, right under the rusty square thing was the religious medallion, so I guess it pays to remove the trash! If I had not dug that iron I would have never got the medallion! :thumbsup:

I dug beaver tails, pulltabs, etc....trying so hard for old nickels.........just wasn't meant to be! Ended up with 3 wheats, and 2 of them had nails in the hole with them. I just about got this place cleaned out, there is nothing left there but crap signals. A lot of deep square nails....iffy but I didn't care I took the chance and dug em! :tongue3:

Hmm, did you say, "crap" signals? Just kidding.

Sometimes, it's just not meant to be.

I love the medal. I'm right with you on digging the trash. Sometimes I'll dig a pouch full of iron and trash and only one or 2 good things but all it takes is one good find to make your day.
 
took some pics of my stuff and posted them here awhile back one of the comments was " I see alot of iron in your future" and he was right! I dig everything, you never know whats under that piece of iron... HH and good luck to all.. Gary
 
Of course... I dig all non iron items at the sites I hunt and it all can't be keepers. My junk tends to be lead and bits of misc. broken metal and gets tossed soon as I give it an additional check when I get home.
 
Neat finds Goes----Love that medal :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
Awesome job bro!!! :icon_pirat:
