I have been traveling overseas (no place I could detect darn it) and after 3 weeks I finally got out to detect. I went back to campus and man what a change. When I left it was in the 40s and 50s and now it is in the 80s. I got in 4.5 hours of swinging the CZ21 in the grass strips in the parking area. The first 3 hours it was steady digging with. Ice coin numbers and an oval sterling earring as a special treat. The last hour and a half I moved to a different section of the lot because I had finished the section I was working on. I was mostly dead. Very few signals, not even many tabs. In the 1.5 hours I found about 16 coins and a few a mangled silver ring.
All together 116 coins with a face value of $5.82, a Heffer Project pin, a key, a unique penny pendant, a cheap metal religious pendant (deterirated badly), a Maryland state pin, an oval silver earring with the stone missing, and the mangled silver ring.
The silvers are a nice find. It is kind of odd though. Over the years I have found a lot of oval silver rings with turquoise. Before I left I found one the same style as those but instead of a stone the oval was silver. Now I get back and find a similar ring, both on campus but a football field apart. Funny how these things work some times.
The penny pendant was a surprise. When I dug it I thought it was a hand made trick penny, heads on both sides. When I washed it up I realized it had a hole in it so it must be a pendant. It is a 1948 wheat penny glue to a 1917 wheatie. Unfortunately that part of the grass was full of gravel and it got scratched rather badly.
So another good hunt. Campus is still giving. 4 hunts since I started my new year with a total of 4 silvers and nice piles of clad.
With luck I will hit the water next week and see if anyone left me any surprises over the holidays. Got to love those depositors.
Thanks for looking and may your coil lead you to good things.
