Went out yesterday and to hunt an old house site at a park, we have pounded this place so severely it got to be if you found a wheatie you considered you were doing good. After reading a posting from my friend Terry’s (Goes4ever) post about using small coil, and TTF to hit a park site that he had pounded before and seeing his success doing that I was inspired to try the same. Using my Sunray X-8 my first target was the decorative case which has the two top pieces, part of the hinge and one of main pieces. It is a very interesting find. Found another piece that had engraving on it what it is I have no clue? Then between some iron I got just a very small signal reading 7-40 and I dug a 1951-D wheat. That impressed me because we have taken over 60 wheaties out of this site so I knew there were not many left. Found a very nice silver plated spoon that at first was a heart stopper dug my plug and I could see the back of the bowl shining through the dirt and I had visions of a Large Silver coin, well I am happy anyway with my find! Then just before I had to leave again amongst some iron I was getting a 12-35 jumpy but solid enough to dig of course. My only concern is that it was only a couple inches deep. Now this site is old enough (1820’s) to have about everything and in all our hunts I think the oldest coin pulled had been a 1916 wheat. On the plus side there was virtually no modern clad to be found except for the stray coin here or there. So imagine my delight to see an Indian Head emerge. My greater delight came when I saw it after washing it off. It is the most beautiful Indian I have ever dug and flat out about as good as any I have seen posted, this 1881 beauty made my day. Thanks Terry for the inspiration!
