This park is old but it has been hunted a lot, still, nobody could have found everything.
I have found some great older coins here in different parts and yesterday I found another area to concentrate my efforts.
I found this little spill but it was right in the way of a bunch of frisbee golfers and there were a lot if them because of the beautiful day and the holiday and I kept having to move so I just gave up and will go back when it isn't so busy.
This was a bouncy signal, iron everywhere around it, but I suspected there was something good down there and it turned out to be three somethings.
1917, 1918 and 1928 wheat cents.
Just finding one is cool, finding all three in the same hole made me smile.
Hopefully silver around here somewhere if everyone missed these in the past.
Not too deep but about the 4-5" area where the bouncing and up-averaging begins but for some reason this combo mixed signal came in low in the mid to high 60's.
Could have been one of the many screw on caps I find around here, but I thought I was actually going to be digging a modern zinc cent because it never dropped real low like those caps usually do and hoped for some small silver jewelry or an IH.
3 copper wheaties surprised me at these readings when they popped up.
This stupid soil and it's effect on targets is nothing if not surprising...might have been something deep under these targets causing that down- averaging but who knows.
Black soil in this area, not much clay but still GB'd at 75 with lots of iron all over the place.
Settings on the F70 and the standard elliptical coil were...
DE, sense at 90 and pretty quiet, disc on 3, thresh on -3, 2F tones.
Pretty bouncy but a decently solid tone with no iron grunts right over the target area so I had to dig it.
