Went back to the same Baltimore City park in search of old coins and relics this morning and investigated 4 small areas.
First spot is an area around old tree stumps but it is super trashy so I jacked up discrimination to 60 and ended up digging a bunch of clad quarters and dimes.
Turned disc down to 11 as I moved to a new spot and was hearing more of the iron so I kicked it up a little and worked my way over to spot 2. Here I dug a 1903 IHC and then about 10 ft away, a V-nickel. This area produced a number of wheats and, in fact, four more were dug from the same hole as the IHC.
On to spot 3 where I targeted a war nickel, 1943P.
Last stop was the area that gave me the Williams Cleaner, fatty Indian and 1781 half real. Dug some foil and then another faint high tone. The dirt ball containing the target showed a small, thin silver edge. I could not identify the small, coin-shaped object that I broke out of the ball. A clean in water revealed an 1852 trime!
Here's the link to the video on YouTube -
Last three consecutive hunts in this end of the park have produced "old" silver. Last pic is all three "oldies" taken 9/16, 9/17 and 9/20.
