I Finally Have the Right Program - 1841 Site Gives Up an '03 I.H.
I've been returning to this year's sites with different programs since getting the Super12 coil for my DFX. It's looking like EEProm Deep Silver, hopped up to run hotter, is working.
There's so much iron in this ground that any good signal requires a lot of passes from different angles, a lot of bringing the coil over the target in pinpoint to see if there are any + VDI #'s.
Even if it's acting like a chunk of beer can, I'm digging. If the VDI # gets more definite as I pull some dirt, whoopee.
Today at the 1841 house across the street from the 1856 one where I got the CW button, I first got 12 cents in new money and a piece of aluminum, then moved to the other side of the yard near an old pine tree. First dig over there was the apparently-old piece of play money. Says "Grimland Play Coin". Next came the child's Greek image pendant--shiny but not gold. Finally a deep (6 or 7 inches, hard to tell, I dig from the sides and hand-lift loosened dirt out) dusty coin turned out to be a 1903 Indian in good shape. Soap and water and a soft toothbrush have gotten a lot of the dirt off, but it needs more cleaning.
I'm sorry about the dark pics. I need a brighter light source to work with no flash.
