Here's to diggin' iffys and snow melt
Hey all, long time since my last post...This part of Indiana got seven inches of snow last week but yesterday and today got warm enough to melt it all and the ground is saturated and very easy to dig in, We get drought conditions in summer so I only dig the iffy signals in winter snow melt. I use a Garrett GTP 1350 and on the 12th hit got the bing bing signal scanning east to west and the dink dink sound going north to south. That usually means big rusty junk or a good target next to a bad one. Dug out a 10 inch dia plug and this was in the bottom of the hole 4 inches down.
Couldn't believe it, the rim of a big silver coin in the middle of a old rusty beer can top. Pulled out a 34s Walking Liberty Half.(might be a D), Worn but very welcome. My first silver of 2016. It has a black band where the edge of the rusty can was laying on it...This is the oldest park here and said to be hunted out since the 80's. My favorite site for diggin' iffys after a snow melt...thanks for reading ...happy huntin' ya'll.
