Slow Start For 2019

[tabman]

I went back and hit the same place again where I found the 2 Barber quarters, SLQ, IH penny, and Mercury dime. As hard as tried I couldn't get my search coil over any silver. I did manage to find 2 V Nickels (1899, 1906), a 1906 Indian Head penny, an old bullet, 11 wheat pennies, and a skeleton key.

That place has taken a pounding. The rain is coming in again, so I can rest up some before the next hunt.
I was using the Equinox 600 in Park 2, recovery speed 2, no iron bias, no discrimination, and using 50 tones.

Nice finds! Congrats! Nickels come out pretty good in your soil.

Nice finds! In my three years of metal detecting I have not found a single V Nickel! Up to this summer I had never found a buffalo or shield but I've started to pay attention to that type of signal. I really like the buffalo's but it's hard to find any that are not ruined by the ground. Recently I found a key exactly like yours! I would go back to your spot when the ground is really wet and see if you can squeeze some more stuff out of it!

Thanks, Everyone! I really did have a nice time. It's going to be raining for a few days, so I'll be ready to hit it again hard when the rain stops.
