i went back to the old park and ballfield this morning where i found that merc about a month ago. i was determined to use the knowledge that i have read about both on this forum and in books........go slow,overlap swings,all metal mode,high sensativity setting, and it paid off!! i got;
1-1962 ROOSEVELT DIME
1-1945 MERCURY DIME
2-WHEAT CENTS one a 195? and one a 194? (the soil here is real rough on copper) looks like i need to soak them in olive oil to try to read the last number on the dates.i also got
1-LOADED .38 SPECIAL BULLET
1-OLD HOUSE KEY
A SMALL METAL CALANDAR FROM 1971
AND 28 CENTS IN CLAD.
this was all from a small area only around home plate. i spent almost 4 hours scanning just around the backstop area.i should also mention that i have hunted this same area 2 times before! just goes to prove that nothing is hunted out! i dug every signal except for iron and man were my pockets full of pulltabs!!!one thing about the ace though, dig those iffy signals because some of those junky looking and sounding targets were good stuff.i am planning on getting out again tommorrow and on monday so i will post more finds later!
