Nice stuff. Old parks are awesome for detecting, I'm sure you'll get a lot more out of the ground there.

Nice finds ... looks like you're digging everything including the frying pan ... good job!

Historic Park! I'm surprised that they let you hunt there. WTG NOTE: I would have carried that dang frying pan back to the car too.

What does a frying pan VDI read on the DFX? I'm curious because my DFX is on its way (FedEx), and I like to dig up things like that too!

how deep was that thing?

Now that's funny, a frying pan. Hey at least you found some clad to make the day worth carrying that pan around.

The frying pan was located at the edge of a 100' cliff in the park. It was about 5" down and it rang out as a solid dime (80-82 VDI range), however when pinpointing, the size of the object gave away that it wasnt a coin.

As for hunting in the historic park, all parks owned by the city of portland are open season for detectors....Thats why I only found clad . I was trying to find the spot where the others (over the last 30 years) have missed (ie. the edge of a 100' cliff).

Great find...wonder whats over the side of that cliff?

About 2 minutes....1 of which was spent looking at it in the hole trying to figure out what I had just found

 

[doyboy]

I would have kept that pan in the hole. I blame the jerk who threw it there.

You may even find the paverbile kitchen sink next.

You may even find the paverbile kitchen sink next.

Knowing my luck, I am sure it is going to be unearthed on my next hunt.
