I spent this past Saturday detecting around between two older schools and an old park. By 6:00 pm, I was over an hour away from home with nothing to show for it. Barely even some clad. Between the REALLY trashy areas I was hunting and the standing water, it was a tough day. If I had a quarter for every aluminum soda cap, it would have been an epic day.
We passed by an old church that had been detected for decades, I myself have been on it 6 times at least. I got out and starting detecting right next to the sidewalk, after I set the Audio response up to 7 on the Deus. I immediately got a signal that I was able to hear that jumped in the 80s and it was the 1907 Indian Head. I finally breathed a sigh of relief that I found something old for the day. The IH was completely standing on edge at the side of the hole, and I hit it with the Sampson. I was bummed, but because it was a common date, I wasn't too upset. It wasn't 6 more feet and a minute later, I got the second similar signal and at the bottom of the hole sat the 1891 Indian Head. I detected about 30 minutes more before I left and found a few zincs and pieces of lead. Nothing else worthwhile.
3 things I got from my day:
Because of my hard hearing I need to crank up the audio response on the Deus
There are still things to be found at this place that has been detected for a long time by more people than I can list on two hands.
I dug the best condition Indian Head cent so far for me.
