... and four silver rings. One's a nose ring (I think).

All in all, a fun afternoon!

Nice pile of loot, Ridley. Were you back at the old house site again, or somewhere else?

Nice finds. Since it's a nose ring and the caps are still on it......hmmmm, swing chain accident?

Thanks,
On weekends I like to detect ball fields at schools. All those finds were the result of a slow swing in four straight lines across the length (of a field).

I save the farm and old house/parks ect... for weekdays. I don't mind public attention when I detect, but it's always more fun to have privacy.

The UPS man should be bringing me some Jolly Roger headphones any day now. I can't wait to try them on the farm.

nice, what a haul

SWEET LOOT! I know what you mean about privacy on better sites. I tend to give total concentration to what I am doing & not enough to where I am.

Ridley,
You are my NC hero. Great job. Nice pile of coins.

[Ridley]

You guys are inspiring to detect every chance I can get!

That large silver ring in the photo is driving me nuts! It has the 925 mark. Then it also has a 104 mark.

These jewelry markings mean something! But what?

Thanks in advance if anyone knows...

Great pile of metal!

Great finds, how many hours did you spend?

Very nice!

Great finds....MMMMMMMM Silver!

 

[Ridley]

Great finds, how many hours did you spend?

Funny you should ask that question.
It took me 4 1/2 hours to go across 4 times. From reading posts on this forum, I decided to experiment with my swing.

I went to a place I know well and swung the coil at normal speed walking from point x to point y. Then I did the same from y to x except I swung in slow motion.

The results surprised me! I found twice the stuff I had the first time. The only variation was the speed of my swing.

It takes a lot of restraint to do that in a huge field, but I strongly suggest anyone who's interested to give it a try.

I have found if I slow down in walking forward overlaping I had many more finds, because the field is conical and you could sweep the surface 100% with the coil and still miss a coin if the coin is deeper. BUT I also found the faster I swing the coil over the object the deeper I can detect. about 1 -2 inches more. (your results may vary) but it worth testing out.

Interesting. Do you have a Minelab? I know with the DFX - slowing the swing speed will not yeild better results. With the Explorer II it does...but again it is somewhat site dependant.

No, but I have a friend who uses three different Minelabs. Now that I think of it he swings the coil very fast. Infact, he swings the coils like a pendulum. I've never seen anyone else do that but him.
And yes, he finds really deep targets. I really appreciate the input on this subject. I'm still using a my Whites Classic II (held together with duct tape). The thing does detect deep, but maybe that's only during a faster swing.

Now I need to try an experiment with super fast, normal and slow, over the same area. Maybe that's the key to finding the most stuff with only one machine. During a faster swing though a lot of the targets sound like "clicks", then I re-check them.

Maybe that's why so much gets missed. In any case. This really slow swing involves holding the handle of the detector with the same grip you would use to hold a pair of scissors when cutting paper. That helps maintain the slow speed.

Thanks for your comments guys!
