Back story... This place we went to I was taken to 25 years ago by a local club member who said they had hunted it many times but I might get lucky...
Me and my partner stopped here on our way to somewhere else thinking we would tool around here for a few minutes, without much expectations..
First coin I dug was a regular dime, but the second coin was the Roosevelt Dime... I was SHOCKED to say the least thinking this place had been cleaned out years ago...
I will tell you that when I walked out on the lawn in front, it became immediately clear that the ground was loaded with targets, Iron and other crappy shit, after 5 minutes of that I set the descrim up to basically pennies and just watched the numbers...
Then I got a HIGH tone that was bouncing around and I started to dig, and the first thing I pulled out was a rusted nut...
But the machine was still reading off high in the hole so I kept digging and using my pinpointer to locate whatever it was...
Suddenly a BIG WHITE disc rolled out and into the hole and I almost had a heart attack... My friend with his Minelab 800 could not really pick up a lot of the targets I was getting although I did not swap the HALF signal with him so I don't know about that one...
Thanks for looking everyone..
