Went to the closest park near my house this morning, and got some silver and gold. I took my M6 with the 5.3 Eclipse coil.
This park was made a park in 1951 and over the years, I have gotten some nice silver coins from it.
Starting with the playground area, and picking up the usual clad coins and small junk items, I then get a nickel/ring signal. As I dig it out of the woodchips, the ring looks silverand as I pass it under the coil again, I still get a gold reading. I wipe it off on my shirt, and look inside the band.... it says 18KT GE It IS a gold ring...... white gold plated, with a nice CZ stone.
Searching for another 1/2 hour gets nothing else, so I go to a grassy area that used to have a restroom building there years ago. It has been gone for about 20 years, and in the past, I have found other silver coins in this area, of the park.
Getting a few more clad coins, and a couple more junk items, I then get another quarter signal.
Thinking I am going to pull up another clad 25 center, I am suprised when it comes out shiny....It is a silver one
Searching with real small overlapping sweeps, I get 2 Rosy dimes in about 15 minutes. After another 20 minutes or so of nothing else, I decide the 2 1/2 hour hunt was pretty good so I call it a day.
I am just posting the good items found....don't think you want to see dirty clad and junk items....
