Went to 2 parks today w/ Catskill Comics. The 1st we left quickly as all we could locate was clad.Then back to the hunted out park that has given up dozens of silvers since.
I had my new 10 x 12 SEF on and wanted to prove to myself it went deeper, and found coins on edge better than the stock coil. Not so sure I proved this, but a good day nonetheless. 8)
Had a good sound pretty deep, but pinpoint was not stable. Good enough to dig, I was attempting to memorize everything in case it was a good find.Turns out to be an IH! Not too bad considering we have all been over this small area multiple times. A few minutes later, another with the same depth (~ 8 )
Moving along, Scott left and I went to another area many of us have been over multiple times before. A good sound camoued by the bang of iron made this difficult to pinpoint. The machine in this mode kept leading me to the iron tone. :-\ Finally at one angle, i was able to get a tiny area of separation and unearthed this coin. Lucky for me it was sitting next to iron or it would have been a gonner long ago.
Lets all pay homage to the deep iron; not only does it hide coins, it is a good indication of a site's age!
When i am paying attention, I usually dig deep nickle tones. Many times this is a pull tab on the way down but hey...maybe its gold. This one as a buf and probably will not get a date.
A few wheats and then I get another tone that sounds good. This one is totally lodged between trash. in pinpoint, i cannot get this isolated and am forced to dig w/o it...arghh. ( With a new coil. I was nervous but brought up this religious medallion from the depths...~ 8, just like the merc.
All in all not a bad afternoon. Sure beats raking leaves like I did all am.
BTW, here is a new pic of the 2 center after soaking and toothbrushing. i t pays to brush!
