My wife and I spent another ten days up in north central Minnesota and was it ever great. Left here with a heat index of well over 100 and arrived up there to 78 degree temps. and low humidity.
Although I did split my hunting time between my LTD and an Omega 8000, which I had just gotten right before we left for the northland, the LTD did get used some fifteen or so hours on an old fairgrounds and one city park. Silver was a bit more elusive, with both detectors, then it some times is on some of our other trips up there, but the LTD, none the less, gave me a few keepers.
From one small city park the LTD sniffed out 1 deep 1912 Barber dime and a 1901 IH cent and a couple of wheats. Oh, and a neat 1924 Canada one cent coin. From the old fairgrounds the only silver coin I could muster this trip with the LTD was a 45d war nickel. Got 2 war's with the Omega, too. The LTD made up for its lack of silver, though, by sniffing out 3 more IH cents, (1893 1900, 1904) 2 Buffalo (no date) nickels and 7 wheats.
Between the Omega and LTD, I also managed 27 clad quarters, 16 clad dimes, 5 nickels, 6 fair tokens, numerous cents and several items of junk jewelry. Most of these coins were still nestled in the grass as the fair had just finished a few days earlier.
I usually hunted in BP, disc.0, sen. in the 80's and 4h tone. The IH cents all came in in the 2nd and 3rd tone. Usually, a mix of each. For the most part, vdi's were in the 60's, but jumpy. This site being well over 100 year's old, however, is non stop sifting through the trash hunting, and most good targets are usually co-located with some sort of trash. And, the depths of the IH cents were from 4" to 6" deep.
