Hey diggers,
I went back to the old park that I had hunted so hard a couple years ago with my ACE 250. I had pulled more than 50 silvers and many old coins. Not bad for a park that is only one city block in size. You may recall I went back there a few weeks ago armed with my e-trac and 5 years experience and pulled 6 more silvers. I spent 4 hours there again and really focused on finding old coins masked by iron and trash. The war nickel rang up 12-19 and I thought it was a pull-tab for sure. The other silvers were all very difficult to hear due to heavy iron around them. Believe me, I dug many, many worthless iron targets today because I thought I heard a coin! I am always surprised at how many nickels can be found when you slow way down and really focus on each signal. Most of the nickels I found today were recent drops but there was a 1958 and 1961 in the bunch. Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.
