    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...

    Virgin park 3: The power of PI!

    Hi all, Went back to the park for about an hour before work, though I got stopped early because of rain and lightning. But, as I mentioned in the previous post I brought out the TDI to work the area I previously hit with the CTX using both the 11 and 17 inch coils. As I expected, it was just...

    Virgin park hunt 2

    Well, I got back today for a couple hours and used the big 17"coil to try reaching the deeper stuff. Mostly I went over the area I already did with the 11" coil. Sure seemed to make a difference but had a hard time with seperation from the nails. This time I managed my first 1909 wheatie! No...

    Virgin park found, pays off to research!

    Hi all, While perusing over some old aerial photos I noticed a small detail. In an area that had Bern heavily developed and filled in the 50s, I saw one sliver of park along some structure remaining from the late 1800s. Well, who knows I thought and went out there after work this morning in...

    A couple hunts. One first, but finds were scarce.

    Hello all, First hunt on Friday morning was at a beach site I haven't been to since last year. I hoped for a water hunt but the waves were too big to be safe-much less dry. So I was relegated to the beach which didn't give up much but mostly clad and toy cars. I also found one junker ring...

    Another zoo hunt, campaign button and silver

    Hi everyone! Another short hunt before work hitting the parking islands again. Targets are getting hard to find so hitting anything remotely repeatable below 4 inches. Lots of iron and fence wire, but I got a pretty weak 12-41 showing 7 inches. Well, at about 9 inches and through a maze of...

    New machine in September

    I was just reading some articles about Minelab unveiling a new machine next month in England. Apparently Brandon Niece (Dr Tones) is field testing one now. In his latest video it's mentioned but he says he can't show it yet. But from the hype it's supposed to be a game changer. I've also read...

    Short park hunt, really cool medal!

    Hi all, Stopped at a park on the way in to work for about an hour hunt. Since I've been trying to perfect a couple program variations for better hunting in iron and trash, I thought to try an area I had struck out at in the past. Targets were very slim, but the first good iffy signal I got was...

    Farm hunt, another first!

    Hi all, I was finally able to get out hunting the farm I grew up on, and had some surprising finds. I know the place dates back before the 1880s, but can't find any records from before then to document when it was first built on. About all I can find is that the town was settled in the 1830s...

    Day trip Sunday, pounded park, but a few goodies.

    Hi all Got out Sunday to a town about an hour away that has a nice town center park surrounded by mid to late 1800s buildings. I had hoped there would be lots of old coins to be found there, but instead it must have been really pounded. To begin, I noticed lots and lots of very shallow...

    Armani ring

    Hi all, Got out for about a 6 hour hunt working both the beach and the water. The weather has not been conducive to a lot of beach going much less swimming this summer, so finds are few and far between. But as I was about to call it quits for the day in about a foot of water I got a nice 12-08...

    Last several hunts nets strange finds, plus silver.

    Hi all, First hunt I got out to do a water hunt in the big lake Monday morning. Found the bottom the be sanded in maybe 2 feet after the last storms. But I did manage a little clad and a broken silver ring. One strange find was a 12-34 signal I got. I was thinking gold ring maybe? Alas, no...

    No clue, any ideas?

    Found this today at the old zoo in the area I previously found a lot of Indians. Targets have been getting few and far between other than loafs of surface pennies and trash, so have been digging even very iffy signals 4 or more inches deep. Wheats usually don't pop up until 6 to 10 inches,

    Another oddity. Any ideas?

    I found this next to a cellar hole for what looks like what may have been an outbuilding at the former farm site I've been working. It's brass, but was still a tough find in the heavy iron. Looks like an adjuster wheel to something. Any ideas appreciated, thanks!
