Hi all, Was back in normal hunting form last week. Went out 3 days. Got tiered of waiting for it to get cooler out.
Fought the 90 degree heat and headed for some old park woods. This time was different though.
I have been using my 1400 coil now in this park. I have also re tweaked the dfx to find more.
This is a great metal detector if you know how to use it. Everytime I re adjust it I find more in spots I hunted hard.
All hits were deeper than 6 inches.
I was digging dimes at 7 or 8 inches in hard packed path soil with rock and clay. The dfx could easily hit them with the way I set it up.
I had a few light scratches on a few of the dimes. Not real happy about it. But when there that deep and the ground is that hard and your digging with a shovel just to get to them it happens.
I actually hunted 3 days by myself. I concentrate better when alone for some reason.
The find I liked the most was a old tiny silver spoon. It's about three or 4 inches long and was made by the westmoreland silver co. It dated betwen 1900-1940. It used to be a pin or brooch. The pin is missing from the back.
I think there is alot more to be found in this area that I thought I had cleaned out. The hits are deep and I have never took a shovel to this park ever.
Some of the dates on the coins were this. 44 and 16 merc. 1913 barber dime. 1920 buffalo. 1901 v-nickle. One transit token from Pittsburgh. It's in bad shape. 1 1899 Indian and a 1906. Most wheat's were teen dates. One was a better 1912.
I will keep you all posted.
Thanks for looking,
HH Jeremy
