I arrived at the site at 5:45 and started swinging my modded Cibola with the NEL Sharpshooter coil. The settings: a little negative on the ground balance, full sensitivity, a very slight threshold hum and I had the discrimination set just high enough to discriminate out a iron nail.
The ground was bone dry from the lack of rain and the heat and humidity was stifling.
By 8:15 I wringing wet from the heat and hadn't found any silver even after grid searching the entire front yard. I decided to grid search it at a different angle to see if could get my coil over some silver. That did the trick, I found 2 Rosie Dimes (1962, 1952) and a 1945 War Nickel. All in in 15 minutes.
I was ready for the house, but a guy from the house next door came out in his driveway to get the news paper and asked what I was looking for. I told him that I had permission from his neighbor to search her yard and I was looking for coins minted in 1964 and before.
Without me even asking, he told me that I could search his yard as well. I was about wore out from the heat but couldn't resist the offer. I only hunted his yard for about 30 minutes, but I managed to find 2 sterling pieces of jewelry, a ring and a pendant.
