- Metal Detecting
Went to a south Georgia Elementary School Sunday that I have searched one other time, because it is fenced off, and all gates are usually locked. But they have been doing some remodeling and had taken a large section of fence out and was able to get into the playground area.
With the aid of my White's TRX pinpointer and White's MX5, I found a total of 48 clad quarters, plus 8 clad dimes, and 2 memorial "copper" cents and 1 Sacagawea dollar dated 2000-P for a total of 59 coins, a total face value of $13.82......and when divided by 59 coins found a career $ average high for me, per target of $.2342.....
When I find a good location like this, and has not been hunted much.....I will use my 1st Stage method of recovery running in VDI of 70-99 and rejecting the zinc cents and everything else below 70, not knowing when I would be back.....in order to get maximum $ average per coin, when time is limited.....
I was finding so many quarters, that toward the end of the hunt, I quit digging the copper cents, and even a few of the dime signals......but I will be back to pick up the remainder of the dimes, cents, nickels or any gold on my next trip.....I am 75....so I can't hunt as long as I use to....but been metal detecting for 46 years....I love this hobby.
