I got up early yesterday and went to a different park with a swimming area. Set my AtPro in PRO ZERO mode, ferrous audio on at 30, sensatiuvity 2 down from the max and started swingin. I use a coil cover and scrub the sand in the water so I don’t miss any small or deep goodies. You do have to keep looking down to be sure you don’t hit a rock and mess up your coil, but as you can see it works for me.
I got a lot of cheap jewelry, including three pairs of earings, sinkers, tabs, foil and other assorted metal. Setup this way I great as loud strong signal on some of the larger ferrous metal items. I dig them because sometimes they hide better items that are small and close by or below them.
I only found 6 cents, but the jewelry more than made up for the low coin count. I got a nice loud strong sign that turned out to be a nice silver Tiffany ring. I found it on line and that thing is really pricy for a silver ring, but I guess Tiffany is the reason for that. Got the all too frequent silver earrring back and a lobster claw clasp marked 585 which means 14k for those of you nit familiar with the numbers on jewelry. A nice 14k heart pendant with a dolphin and a cz on it gave a solid 43-44 on the VDI. That is firmly in the foil range, so you see why I dig all the mid tones in the water. And lastly a really nice medium weight 14k gold chain that is 18” long. You can see that the clasp is missing and on one end is the bail from a 14k pendant that broke off.
My wife really likes the chain so at some time in the future I will have to get it to my jeweler friend and get it checked out and a clasp put on so she can wear it. She enjoys showing off the cool jewelry she get from my Detecting.
I got changed and went back to the club to see if I could get some coins and goodies. I managed 58 coins face value $3.68, 2 wheat pennies, a penny smashed by a train, a key, 2 cheapy bits of jewelry and a silver earring.
There are no horse shoe pits there now, but ther must have been at one time because I found 2 more pitching shoes. That makes 10 or 12 I have found here.
All in all a nice haul for 3 and a half hours in the water and 3 hours on land. That makes 6 hunting days in a row with silver , gold or both. I’m on a streak. I probably wont be doing any detecting next week. I am taking the Boy Scout troop to summer camp and as Scoutmaster I may not have the time.
Thanks for looking and may your coil lead you to good things.
