King George V almost had my number but I didn't have his...

[DigToChina]

Hi all,

I'm a firm believer in learning from the mistakes or lessons of others and when I can, I try to return the favour. My mistake was not doing something I read on here a long time ago although I haven't seen it lately so if me posting about it helps someone else, I'm happy.

Last night I was back at the park I've found my first LC's, my first silver quarter and a gold bracelet. I've maybe covered 5-10% of this park so I still have a lot of ground and potential to cover. I keep hearing a nice high beep on the ATP every so often but no VDI shows up. Probably foil I keep thinking and move on. After a hand full of times, I start to worry that maybe I'm missing something so I dig. Yep. I'm missing something alright!

The moral I think is trust your ears. Now I have to walk back over all I've done before. ☹️

Still a good night with my first King George V and first silver dime. [emoji16]

By the way, that ugly little bracelet with the flaking chrome has this on it 🙄


And since it's not worth posting separately, here's Saturday night which I would have called "Ding Dong! Avon calling!" That necklace is pure junk.


Happy hunting!

Dig

Very nice hunt and finds you made.

I've never had a beep without a target ID on my F75LTD. I recon that's an AT pro thing. Are you sweeping too fast from side to side? If I was hunting that site, I'd continue your grid let's say from east to west than I'd go over it from north to south on the next grid. The 1st grid I'd us the 5" x 8" coil for better target separation and the 2nd grid I'd use the larger stock coil looking for the deeper targets. It does sound like your learning your machine. Congrats on digging all those keepers, especially the silver dime and the large copper.

Thanks trapper. I couldn't have phrased that any better!

It's funny you should mention Fisher because I was thinking this morning that I didn't recall that happening with the F2 🤔. Interesting notion about sweep speed. I'll have to test it next weekend although after the dime when I found a signal like this, I'd try to sweep over those couple inches and was finding only turning up the sensitivity was giving a VDI.

DTC...congrats on relying on your Spidey senses to go after that whisper of a high tone with no VDI numbers...happens to me usually every other time out at least once...and sad to say...I've never went after them every time, just a couple times and it was DEEEEP iron..I've heard a few times to LISTEN and not look...but we're creatures of habit. And I've sworn now to break that habit! I was jyst at a new 1811 permission over the weekend and remember a whisper of a high tone that repeated...deep, very deep-tho there were no numbers it did give me a depth of 10" (ATP depth indicator stops at 10"). There were a LOT of high tones to dig so I passed on it. I've got more ground to cover there, including gridding the front yard in different directions. Thanks for bringing this to light...Ddf

Thanks Ddf. It was pure dumb luck that I turned up a silver when I checked but certainly drove the point home for me. After, each time it was either a penny or some iron but the iron seemed to have a scratch or chirp/clipped sound. I started digging only the clear sound.

Well done on the silver, the park is starting to give you some older finds.

And I sure hope it continues! Two 1800's LC's, 30's silver dime, silver quarter, two gold items and the years of the coins I'm finding (more than a few pre-70's pennies) makes me think no one has seriously tackled this soccer field before and I know based on an 1877 atlas that it was an occupied farm. I'll gladly give it the attention it deserves though [emoji106]🏻
