    Virgin park hunt 4

    Hi all,
    I was able to get back to this little park for a couple hours before work tonight. I had spotted another possible virgin area and gave it a try but it was just loaded with deep modern trash so is likely fill dirt. The area I've been working has tapered off with the good targets. Today I worked the area under and around the power lines at the rear of the lot. I was able to dial the CTX in so I didn't get the EMI yet still got good hits.

    Nothing real spectacular this time but I started with another 10 wheats.
    I also picked up a war nickel, which I haven't found one of in more than a year.

    Nice going . That war nickel is in pretty good shape . Most of the ones I have found had been infested by the creeping crud .Humidity
    and smoke filled air killed my hunting ambitions today . Not to worry though , my wife had one of those indoor , one hour honeydews that lasted most of the day .

    Nice little haul there and congrats. Definitely keep hitting that place. With all those wheats I'm sure there's a few more silvers there. Probably not the best signals - but they're there!
