Cibola's Summer School Surprise!
I dropped my RN, BSN off at the hospital this morning at 5:45am, and headed to an old school on the mighty Hudson River, near Tarrytown, New York. I got two solid hours in before summer camp counselors started arriving and I called it quits.
My new Tesoro Cibola continues to impress me with its discrimination abilities. I was screening out iron and foil, but not nickels. I got the small junk ring at about 11” in loose dirt. I was nailing dimes at 9”-“11” with no problem hearing them without headphones! Both nickels were about 4” – 6” deep.
The two 1940 Wheat pennies were on their sides - side-by-side, six-inches down and gave me a double beep. The Shield nickel came next, under a big Oak tree, about 8” down on top of a root in clay. I was dripping sweat so bad on my glasses I thought it was a quarter at first, and just threw it in my finds bag! In fact, I thought the 1892 Indian Head was the find of the day until I got home and dumped everything in the sink. Surprise! V-Nickel!
