Short hunt after work at "Silver Mine" Park, Jan 23rd
Just a one hour hunt today and I was digging what I call "IFFY" signals. Got some pennies that did not ring in clear. Some of these actually rang in around 63-68 with alot of rusty iron in the soil around them. The Iron Audio was growling constantly, but I still got a tiny high tone mixed in. Not a clear signal, but iffy. Could have been rusty nail, etc.
Anyway...I got 2 memorials. 1970 S and 1976 D. 1990, 1983 and 1968 Canadian pennies.
And these older pennies. These rang up in the strange 63+ range.
1962 young Elizabeth.
1939 George VI Penny in pretty good nick, as Ged "Peacehavens" would say.
And a 1940 George VI that looks blackened from a fire. Will soak him in linseed oil to get that grot off.
That was it for today, great to get out again and find some old coins. GL & HH ALL!!
