2.5 hour hunt at the drive-in

[shooter]

ROW 1, car position 1-4, 5" coil,FAmode, 99 sen 65 disc 3 tone, this was the last hunt for the season, freezing up in Jersey. Got my 3x5 football coil i'll start up in the spring. not one coin.

Shooter, that looks like a lot of digging. That drive in theater is a strange place. Looks like winter is going to be around here in wva for awhile, that will give us some rest and then we'll hit it again when the weather breaks. PS ( hate those pull tabs)!

Regardless of the coins found, that is a ton of digging. Incomprehensible to not recover one coin. Dang, a couple should have turned up along with a piece of dug trash???? HH jim tn

Now that is a lot of trash, but if you king of think about being at a drive-in, what goes on there? For the most part people set in their cars watch the movie, eat junk food and throw the trash out the window. So if you think about it why would there be a lot of coins in the parking section. Maybe rethink the money trail and there may be lines where more money than trash. Think about walk lines to and from the popcorn stand. Some drive-ins had a play area up front for the kids.

Just something to think about.

Ron, you are right about the money trails, but night after night the guys are getting in and out of their autos for one reason or another and a coin here and there would get dropped. ????????? HH jim tn

It's surprising there weren't any coins hiding under that many tabs.
Then again , maybe there has been someone through there who knew how to use their etrac.

 

[CZconnoisseur]

That's some serious dedication there...you're bound to hit a cleaner area soon!

Sometimes cleaning out the trash exposes the coins signal better. Eliminates the masking

 

[Furious T]

Lots there to think and re-think about....then think about strategy for next time you go there. All the best & HH. Pete

thats where I've been getting all the silver coins was in the play area.

Just a thought, seems that you have a hump where the cars park to give them a little angle up to see the screen. I thing the humps would be more trashy than the valley's, which I think would be more the walk area and fishing in the pockets for change.

O My, If I had dug that many relic's in one day I would frame that pic with the caption " It should be better the next time" Hunting that drive-in would be personal challenge . May run the disc 1-5 and maybe 5 to 8 ft.back from the highest part of the hump. It will get better.------after1-

That pic was the areaback of the drivers door where you would get out

 

[sprchng]

I would get a portable sifter and get after it for an hour or two. Less work and at least you will know if you're just wasting your time or not.

good idea but can't do big holes the drive-in still open, i know there's a lot of silver there, but is it going be worth the digging.

Good grief , that's amazing!!!!!
I didn't think was still a functioning drive-in in the entire country. There hasn't been one around here for 35 years or more!
