i had some good luck last week.my local park has had a fairground on it and due to the rain and heavy equipment churning up the grass the council ploughed it over and left the soil nice and soft and spongy .
out with the dues ,backphones on volume 9 and round my neck only .GM programe tuned in and off i go .
it was easy to tell the coins as they gave out a loud and clear tone and a selection from the 1900s to the 1950s came up with ease.
i dug no foil or tabs or tops as they gave scratchy lower tones and were easy to spot .coins of bronze and silver were easy to ID by the tones only.
this was ideal conditions and plan going back again for some easy coin finds. the park has been in existence since the 1890s so earlier finds are xpected.
i didnt even need a trowel as the soil was so easy to turn over with my shoe .
ploughed soil is realy a good test bed for learning the dues sounds if you have the opportunity.
