All Treasure Hunting
D-Dub and I went back to the grove where I found my seated dime last week. The hombres were boozin' it up where we wanted to detect, but I had found on an old map that there used to be 2 old baseball diamonds there, that are now overgrown by woods. Was EXTREMELY trashy, that D-dub didn't even have the patience to detect where I was detecting.

My first target of the day was the silver bulldog that rang up as a deep modern penny. I thought it was going to be an IH @ about 8".

Next target was the '41 Merc at about 6", and not even two mins later the '30 Merc at about 3". Both of the Mercs came in a solid 12-45. Knew for sure they were silver dimes.

About half an hour later, I got a faint, deep chirp reading 12-42/43 @ about 7 or 8". Thought for sure it was going to be a wheatie.......1903 Barber Dime to my surprise! (Just like your Barber Neil)

Last signal was the '47 Rosie, and that came in at 12-45/46/47. It was jumping around, I think it was on edge @ about 6".

Also got 9 wheaties for the day. Oldest being 1919-s and '27-s. Others are '41x2, '44x3, 56-d, & No date. All in all it was a great day. Just wish I could've found these dimes the same day as my seated, and then I would've had my dime grand slam. :thumbsup:

Sorry about the bad pics. It's late and I have no natural light or strong lights at the house.

Thanks! See you in the am
 

Dude! Those finds are fantastic!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Way to hit that trashy area!

Jon, I've been meaning to ask you - How's your depth meter when you switch to pinpoint mode and you're trying to pinpoint with the coil? Mine always jumps to a shallower target reading..... The target will read 6" and in pinpoint it will show 2"...
 

Sweet shinies Jon! Keep 'em coming!

Depends. Mostly clad and junk will do that for me. Especially those damn bottle screw caps. But when I get a deep signal, and then when I pinpoint it and its still deep, I dig it no matter what the ID tells me. 99% of the time it's something good.

Yeah, I learned to ignore the pinpoint depth altogether when it does that. :-\

Sunday morning
 

Way to work that trashed area over. Like you said, I just didn't have the patience. Hit the old ball field area and managed to score some clad instead. Got to pay for the detector somehow!!!
