    Little bit of everything hunt

    Meet with Ricky today at old park for 6 hours of detecting. First target was 1907 IH, then next one was 1935D Buff, then 1909 wheat so hunt started very good for me. Today finds are 1939 and 1945 Mercs, 1900 V-nickel, 1907 IH, 24,35D and no date Buff's, total of 22 wheat's. Sterling silver ring, 1958 Canada penny, some play money, pocket knife, old bullet, small gun and about $9 in clad. Ground is still dry even after this morning little rain but at this park its little better to dig compare to other parks I hunt. Thanks for looking and best of luck to everyone. HH Mike

    Thanks, it is just amazing how many good targets are still left after hunting that park for 6 months. Park is not that big but it is very old. We need rain here, ground is so dry and hard to dig. HH

    Great bunch of keepers Mike.
    Glad to see you got out and found some nice ones.
    Curious... what coil are you swinging on your machine? Did you get a Double D for it or
    are you using a concentric coil?
    Congrats.
