After looking at all the historic and rare finds everyone posts in this forum, I just wonder if I should be posting my simple finds in another forum. Let me know if that’s the case, and I’ll move future posts.
After getting a good report from my annual checkup at the VA this morning, I decided to celebrate and spend the day hunting a local park I’ve been working for about four weeks. Today was a median strip between two parking rows about 30’ x 150’, and I was using my new-to-me AT Max in zero mode, disc 35, sens -2, threshold 0. I quickly learned that nickel signals were 99% pull tabs, so if it wasn’t slamming 50-51, I wasn’t digging it. Besides, this is a very trashy area, like most of our local parks. We tend to have more slobs than conservationists. The fishing spoon attached to a trolling sinker was something I had to dig, because it was screaming at me and throwing nickel, brass and lead numbers all at the same time, and was only 2” deep. Must have fallen from a tackle box that was sat on the grass. Also dug that little religious pin that rang in as a copper penny, solid 80-81.
I worked the strip for two hours before heading to lunch, and only covered about less than half of the area. There’s more to be dug out of that median, and next time I’m taking my Bounty Hunter Land Ranger Pro with the 4” coil to get in tighter for coins I know I have passed over.
