Holy cow! Thats a nice pile of Indians. Looks like the park has been cherry picked! I'm sure there are some seated and a barber left for you though! Probably some V nickels too!
 

Silver could have been under anyone of those I.H.s I'd keep on digging those targets.
 

With that many indians there should be at least some Barbers there. I have found that in alot of the "hunted out spots" that most of the silver that is left is next to trash, especially iron. Probably not going to be perfect signals so dig those repeatable iffy signals. You will probably also pull some more Indians.
 

Waiting for permission to come and get the silver out for you.....So just do as your doing by pulling the I H's out

I think I'm finding the IH's because they come in lower ( 7-11 / 34-38) than the iron falsing and I can Isolate them from the nails much easier. If I discriminate everything from 22 down the the iron falsing starts showing up at 21/42-45 if I discriminate 27 and down falsing comes up 26/42-45 ? Any ideas
 

I'm sure the silver is there. But just like someone else said, it could be masked. Don't pay attention to the numbers on the screen, and dig anything that shows up in the same depth range as this IH's.
 

I would take the injuns all day long. Good job. Hope the silver comes your way soon.

Go to a spot where you found the highest concentration of Indians. Go ahead and keep the ferrous up to 26 or 27. Go real SLOW and pay attention to the tones of the signals vs. the numbers. If you get a fairly repeatable signal from your swing with a target at the depth you were getting those Indians, go ahead and dig. You will dig nails with this technique but some of those iffy repeatable signals may turn out to be a barber or maybe even a seated based on those early Indians you found. Once again, the signal does not have to be perfect, just repeatable. You can try to discriminate the ferrous down to 21 if it is too difficult but you are further limiting the range of signals. You might be able to pick out some V Nickels by focusing on lower tones also.
 

Wow! Yeah, what they said! Go back and start clearing the "trash" targets. If you can get a solid pinpoint on a target there, dig it!
