Virgin park hunt 2

[Digger_O'Dell]

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 silver, but I also nabbed an 1887 Indian! Very cool, and much older than I expected from this place. Total of 7 old wheats including 35, 17, 27s, 29, and the 09 of course. Also got a button.

Thought there should be an Indian hiding there...and a nice old one too! Yep you need to grid it with your various coils and your various machines. Hope you find more goodies!

Thanks! Now hoping for that elusive seated. :cheesysmile:
It's not a big place, about the size of a fairly large yard. Still haven't gone over it all since I have to keep it really slow to get between the iron and hot rocks giving me a lot of falsing. Might try later on with the PI machine if I can get the iron dialed out. One oddity is I haven't seen a single nickel there.

WTG....some great keepers. If you have multiple coils use them all.

A handsome IHP! More goodies to come out of there no doubt.

Found this also. Pretty sure it's the outer ring to an old 10 amp glass fuse. Has a patent date of 1911.

Once again a nice hunt .I detest large coils but being as this scorching hot weather and the bad air from all the big fires here is supposed to keep me indoors for a few days resting , I may be able to save up enough strength to swing the 15" WOT on the Explorer 2 . Of course this will be the same site I have been hitting for some time now . I look forward to seeing your future hunts on this site you are currently hunting . After this WOT hunt I next plan to hit it with an old Tesoro Diablo 2 Gold machine with a 5x10 Widescan . I expect to dig a lot junk but hopefully I will score a good target or two also .I wish you continued success on your virgin site .

Thanks CT. It's tough with the big coil, but it's the coil that hits deep enough to get the coins here. Maybe if I can get there Saturday before work I'll try the PI machine. Maybe I can eliminate all but the high conductors and hopefully get the depth. I'm a bit out of practice with it, but set up correctly and getting the ears tuned in again it can do amazing things.
