A little Saturday morning digging.:detecting:

[jim tn]

Had about a three hour window for some digging this morning, so grabbed the LTD with the 5" coil on and headed out to the "trash zone." Worked my way out to a tree that was close to a foundation and dug the 10k g f band at about an inch. Probably a fairly recent loss. A few minutes later I remembered I had my camera in the car, so went back and got it and promptly dug a wheat cent. Dug a few cents and wheat pennies when I got a mix of tones from mid to high. After working the small coil around the spot I was able to get a fairly repeatable high tone in one small spot and finally went after it with my Predator Little Eagle digger. Flipped a good scoop of dirt over and promptly saw not 1, but 2 silver coins in the dirt. Got a camera shot of the 2 silvers fresh from the ground and dropped them in my pill bottle and refilled the hole. As I started to swing on along I got to thinking about the mix of tones and bouncy readings, so went back and rescanned the dug spot and got a bouncy nickel reading and broken tones. Dug around with the pin pointer and recovered the small Navy button. Even us old timers forget to re-check our holes once in a while. The 1 junk ring was dug yesterday as well as the pad lock and Mardi Gras coin with Lower Coasters, Algiers La on one side and Year Of The Green, 1974, on the other side. Many of the coins now coming out of this well pounded spot are on edge and few are not masked to some degree. To get the remaining goodies, which I suspect a goodly number still remain, one must hunt slow, dig those small hits, (coins on edge) and simply be inquisitive. Hope everyone digs some goodies this weekend. B P mode, sen 85, disc 0, 3h tones and g b of 67. HH jim tn

Jim you are in real trouble... Didn't you recognize that lock? It is an old Leprechaun lock that keeps their treasure secure. You only have 30 days to find the treasure at the end of the rainbow. If you don't find the treasure at the end of the rainbow your detector will only find (I hate to break it to you) pull tabs from than on. Now that is a whopper!!! Only kidding.
Again great detecting nice finds.....Z
