Howdy All,
We got a little rain this weekend so thought it would be O.K. to hit a few sites. The three quarters are from two days ago. Haven't found three quarters in a day for quite some time. This was a really junk filled house site where the house burned down a couple of years ago. Saw someone had mowed the lawn so this was a sign to hit it again. Two of the quarters were in the same hole, but the explorer did not even give a hint of silver sound, just different from all the iron, a hit a tad away from the far left upper side. It was in a pretty location right next to the front walkway and I was bored enough to dig. Real supprised to pop out a quarter and even more suprised when the periscope told me there was something else there. I'm even more convinced that even with the explorers we are still leaving plenty in the ground that is masked by trash. I've noticed this on coin spills; where I'll dig every nearby really iffy signal. Often rewarded with more coins, but often it is just junk buried nearby. If you stopped and dug every one of these low percentage hits on a regular basis you would never finish even one site. Maybe in fifty years when more of the iron has rusted to nothing or when ground penetrating radar gets cheap....
Today hit a site that should have lots of old coins but have had little luck. Way too many lincolns and clad deep. Must be lots of fill, plus from what I am seeing today it must have been hit over the years, almost every older signal was masked by trash. Got the three Indian heads, 1887,(2)89s, and finally popped out a 1845 large cent that was buried next to a big chunk of iron. Probably have another day or two of detecting before it gets too dry again.
