Well that beats my outing from a beat to death site in the bush.
This fairground doesn't seem anyone has metal detected it much surprisingly too much change and change is usually picked off by those whom are inexperienced. So tells me not many people hit the fairgrounds often. Lots of change, and finding a few old coins deep. There's potential my coil just didn't go over anything all that great the time I looked around.
Those are good finds. I've always liked fair grounds, the one near me produced for years! Now there's a Dollar General there.
I think there's potential the few hours I spent there today and yesterday came up with lots of change and pull tabs. Normally lots of pull tabs you'd say that's bad but for me that means gold can be there. If pull tabs are coming up it means no ones cleaned out targets that could be gold.
Nice finds, and also your others from the fairgrounds. How long has the site been the fairgrounds?
I'm not sure I'd have to research but found two coins from the 40s the Canadian nickel and silver nickel today. So it appears at least 40s. Could be older though
We have a few that date 150-200yrs old.
I dug about 100 pull tabs my knees didn't appreciate that. Only got the damned mood ring for all that effort lol. Like I said my luck is shite a bit of proof is that some lady was walking her dog comes up to me and says look I found this gold ring in the plaza. I'm like look I found pull tabs with my metal detector lol
I was never a gold hound, digging tabs all day for a few grams of yellow bit the dust in the mid 80's.
I just take the options I have. I'm limited so doing the work for gold is my best bet currently. One day it will pay off. I don't give up easily.
If my options was only a fair grounds, I'd be picking it to death.
Lol I've dug lots of deep pieces of slaw. The Deus loves finding those deep and foilIf my options was only a fair grounds, I'd be picking it to death.
I dug over a foot yesterday for some can slaw in the middle of a farm field.
I should of taken a photo of today's winner.
Strong signal, dug down, still in the hole, dug some more, target disappeared-
Like how did that happen? I had even pinpointed it, but it was deeper.
Nothing! Filled the hole back in tamped it down-nothing.
Picked up the shovel and there was a camp fire can wrapped folded tightly on the blade.
Those Boy Scouts buried their trash....grumble/grumble...
There were downed trees, he was laboring in clearing them, that was it.
