Detector(s) used
Minelab Excalibur 1000 & Explorer SE
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
Went out today to show a buddy where he was allowed to detect at a local college. As we were detecting I asked him several times to come over and check some targets I had pinpointed, but he did not even get a signal. In the same hole I dug a 1904 Indian @ 5 inches and a 1899 Barber Half at 9 inches. He could not believe it when I pulled them out. I had unplugged my headphones so he could here the SE scream as I had sweeped the target. He was amazed at the tone. Next target was the 1953 Wheatie @ 4 inches. My last was the 1941 Merc @ 5 inches. I then left a went to a old campground that I pulled 5 Rosies from last Saturday. This is where I found this copper center piece. I am going to research it after posting.
