Jim and I went back to the park on Sunday where those faint whisper sounds were giving up so much silver. Jim set his White Spectrum to relic mode and cranked up the sensitivity to get extra depth, and it seemed to work pretty well. I found the first silver(a Merc dime) but he found the second and third (war nickel and Merc dime), then I got the fourth and fifth (both Merc dimes) and he got the sixth (another Merc). I finished the day with two more Mercs. Again, most of the coins were faint whispers that were hard to nail down, but the effort was well worth it. I saw Jim dig his last Merc from a good 9 inches down, and some of the silver I dug was even deeper. Even the clad was deep. We both dug clad dimes at 6 inches, and I dug a 3 Merry Widows tin from close to a foot down(both halves about 10 inches apart). There was also the usual scattering of corroded green wheats and a few Indianheads, by count 8 and 4 respectively. We plan to go back and grid the park since there don't seem to be any real hot spots that we could find by wandering. The place is so huge it could take a month of weekends just to get a handle on it, but as long as it keeps producing, we'll keep going back.
