Since Friday is the first day of the Memorial day weekend,it was the last day I had to detect at my friend's swim club.Started March 12, 2012 and finished today. My total's are 525 total clad and memorials,plus: 2 large cents, one 1819 [both given to the owner]
,12 wheats, 6 war nickels,4 Mercury dimes [1940 earliest], 18 Roosevelts,[1946 earliest] and 4 Washington quarters [1956 earliest]. All the silver were on their edge and most were under a root. I covered about 40% of the swim club, spending most of my time in the area I dubbed the silver field. I programed my e-tac to ignore the Penny signals, the ones I dug were usually next to a nickel or dime. I found one thin gold chain and that was the result of being in the same hole as a clad quarter. I started by using the auvio headphones but had trouble pinpointing, so I changed to my Liberty headphones and that problem disappeared. I discovered that silver was easier to detect after a rain storm, when the ground was wet. My buddy Jack worked the first 2 weeks with me and found 4 silver dimes a 1 Washington Quarter, but then went home. While metal detecting yesterday I had a visitor. A small red fox came over to see what I was doing. It stayed about 50 feet away, then laid down on the grass and fell asleep. I let it be and moved in another direction.
On Tuesday I start detecting private homes, I have a list of 15 that I have gathered. The oldest one is 1740 and the newest 1940. I can't wait. I love my e-trac.
I'll return to the swim club the Tuesday after Labor Day thumbsup01
