Another day in the park finds more silver:detecting:

[Dan-o]

Well I went out to that same park again. This time I found 12 Wheaties, 1930 buffalo nickel, 1959 Ben Franklin Half, 1944 and 40 mercs, 1954 and 56 Rosies.

The Ben Franklin half was sitting right next to this big piece of iron. It was only a few inches away. I decided to remove the iron object first because it was making it hard to pinpoint the coin. I wasn't totally sure about the signal, but was getting a higher tone and lower tone at the same time.

What a great day. Hoping to get out again tomorrow.
Sorry most of you guys are still buried under snow.

Wow !! Great finds! You're making me jealous. Never found a half before, the bigger coins usually didn't get lost as easily. Good luck on your next outing. Ron

I went back to the park again today for a couple hours. Found another merc, buffalo nickel, military button(much nicer than the last one) and a silver religous medallion.

Sounds like your park might be somewhat untouched, or at least untouched by a good machine. Where is this park anyway ? Trying to keep it light . I'm happy for you, best of luck on your next hunt ! Ron

Take exit 00 and turn right onto Clever Fox Drive, at the T take a left onto Chicken Dinner Road, this becomes a dirt road named Double Barrel Bob way and leads to the Park in Fur For Sale Basin.
A lot of the coins I have found have been 8-10 inches. I don't think my Whites would have accurately id'd these as coins or even responded on them. Before I got the Safari I was hunting with my whites along side my friend with an etrac. He would let me check his targets and I could not get a signal in Disc mode no matter how I adjusted the sensitivity, had to switch to Geb Sat to get a response and would not id the target correctly. Also, many were mixed into the trash, and I think my whites would have just nulled out on most of the silver coins. I went back after work yesterday and was switching between conductivity and ferrous all metal when I would get a good signal using conductivity sounds. When switching to all metal I could here iron signals around several of the targets. I ended up with another silver rosie, a silver war nickel and a wheatie. I also dug some trash and shell cases, one shell case was verticle in the hole so the bottom of the case was facing up and is much smaller than the size of a dime, but I still got a good signal and it was 10 inches down. I am not just guessing at the depth either as I have been measing the finds when I locate them with the pinpointer. I have a cheap harbor freight pp so I know when I am within an inch of the tartget. I can't believe the depth of the safari. Richard at Backwoods said he wouldn't tell me how deep he has dug coins with this machine as I would'nt have believed him and he is right, if someone would have told me I would be able to detect that small little cartridge that deep I would have thought you were blowing smoke. After you start seeing guys with etracs pulling silver from hunted out areas that you have been over, you start to think I need a new detector. So far, for me anyway, the results say this was the case.

Yes it is a deep machine, impressive !!! Ron

Cut Dime doesn't count only worth 7 cents unless you find the other piece....

Thats why you are finding them minelabs are deep and pearce thru mineralized ground like nothing I am personally convinced minelab makes the best detector out thear you can not understand it until you own one and when you do get one thats it you are spoiled i used to think finding coins at 8" and 10" deep was all talk because none of my other detectors could get past 6" then i tried a musketeer and its not even the best detector minelab makes but to my utter amazement i could hit a dime at 9" and 10" deep and a quarter at 11" I have been hooked ever since minelabe are honest manufacturer when they say its deep its deep
