Today's finds at a Park in Raton, New Mexico---
Well today began a bummer!
I'd decided last night, trying to sleep that I'd go back to Raton, NM and visit a park I'd passed a month or two ago. Funny thing, I knew there was an electical power plant in Raton. I just didn't know it shared the same humongous block with the park! Not only that, the park had metal fences everywhere and big metal pipe enbankments with iron ore base under the grass! A nightmare for sure. Bigg Fisher Dogg F-75 did not like the challenge and refused to work big time! ALthough I was still receiving audio, the screen basically died. No ID, no nothing. I tried reducing SENSITIVITY but it did not help at all. I switched from Gray Ghost NDTs to a new pair of Gray Ghost Ulitimates thinking it may somehow be the headphones; no good. I tried turning the machine off, re-GB'ing. I then, as a last resort re-set frequencies running through the 7 available. ALthough it helped; it did not solve the problem. I retired Bigg Fisher Dogg F-75 grabbing Cortes. He too did not like the interfence but I did manage to find 8 or 10 coins and a silver ring with hearts. Good thing (heavy weight contender) Little Miss SE came along for the ride; she was ready and willing to go and did not have a single problem with all the interference. In fact I was able to increase both Sensitivity (20) and Gain (8)!
Here's my take for the day which includes another silver ring I don't remember finding. I guess it was in my pouch from another day's hunt; I'll take silver anyway I can find it and even lead; it was everywhere ---
80 Lincolns
01 1952-D Wheat
03 Nickels
03 Dimes
87 coins total
Thanks!
