Texas, Kentucky road trip. Best day since the 70's
Let me apologize but no pictures. I took vacation and traveled with my bride while she worked as a soldier. We went to Houston for 3 days and Louisville for 2. After listening to your suggestions I tried Memorial Park in Houston but was asked to leave 15 minutes after I started because of the antiquity act. The bell hop at the motel suggested detecting around Waugh Heights. I detected at only 1 park and I found my first Indian (1879) ever, 1 buffalo, 3 barbers (1901, 1902, 1903), 2 mercs and a 1912 Belgium penny that is maybe 10% smaller than our dime and 22 wheaties. I also found 9 slugs from several different caliber pistols. I hated to leave but off to KY. Saturday was the best day since 1973/74. At a school that I had detected last year I found 3 mercs, 1 silver quarter, 2 silver rings and 26 wheaties. Sunday was short and I found 5 more wheaties along with 4 more pistol slugs. I purchased my se last year in May and stopped using it in Sept. I found 22 or 23 silvers and a little over 100 wheaties in 08. I wasn't frustrated but after reading all your helpful hints I new I could do better so I decided to review hundreds and hundreds of your comments last winter and listen to you guys. Last year I wouldn't dig the iffy signals. I usually used digital and only dug the true pure coin readings. What a mistake. I dug the Indian, buffalo and barber in the same hole. I never would have dug that plug last year. I have dug over 25 coins this year that were deeper than anything I dug all last year. Thank you guys for all your time and expertise on this site. I can't wait for WI frozen tundra to thaw out. PJ
