Hi all,
Back to the church again Tuesday morning just going back over a section I haven't covered yet while using the 17" coil. Makes sense that I am finding more that it seems everything here is super deep-even found a recent memorial nearly a foot deep! But now I'm finding more silver and wheaties, even between iron. This time I managed to find 4 wheaties and 2 Rosies! One of the Rosies I almost missed due to being between some very close iron, but was able to find a repeatable signal and dug it.
I did manage 3 surprises. The first being an old 30-06 rifle case and the second the barrel from an old cap gun. But the biggest surprise was when I dug a beautiful deep 12-46 signal. I was really hoping for my first ever silver quarter, and when I got into the hole at first I saw a round silver edge, but as I dug more away I was a little shocked to realize I had another wrist watch!
Wednesday morning I should be able to finish my second sweep of the area. I guess after that I can only hope for a few stragglers amid the deep trash, but I think I'll need to find another "go-to" place really soon. In the afternoon, weather and x-mas shopping permitting I hope to try hunting a small historic church site the next town over. The "new" church was built in the late 1880's I think, but the original log church is on a nearby site which dates back to around 1839.
