Alec and i got out for a few hours today. We started out at an old park and found absolutely nothing. I noticed a gentleman across the street in his driveway, so I walked over to talk to him. He informed me that there always guys out in the park detecting and that he wasn't surprised that we got skunked. I asked him if anyone ever asked to detect his lawn ( 1880 house). He told me No. SOO, I asked and he said sure go ahead.
I wasn't on the lawn more than 30 seconds and I get a nice 12-45 at about 6 inches. I dug the plug and pulled out a 1905 Barber dime. Unfortunately, that was it for me except for a few wheats.
Alec did a little better, his first good signal was a 1906 Indian. Then he tells me he has a deep silver. He dug his plug and pulled out a very nice 1904 barber dime. Just a little bit later he dug a piece of jewelry with a very high polished stone on it. I think it's a cuff link, but I'm not sure. Anyway, he finished up with a nice 1919 Merc and a marble.
We hit one more house and all I got was a dog tag.
It was another great day hunting with my son.
Thanks for looking.
