Big clad morning...

[REVIER]

This all came from the area around a basketball court I have never hunted before and I am sure nobody else has, either.
The thing has only been here for just 5 years, but the coins sure add up when the players pile their stuff around the court when they play and stuff drops out when they pick it up to leave.
I didn't find any great jewelry on this first visit but that doesn't mean it isn't there...I just didn't find it on this trip.
Hardly any trash, mostly just a zillion coin signals and after awhile I had to just quit digging zincolns because I was running out of energy so there is still a ton of signals left to dig.
I gathered all of this in just 2.5 hours if you can believe it.

The prize of the day was a 1918d wheatie that will fill an open slot in my 1909-1940 Lincoln Head Cent book nicely...what it was doing here at this new kind of site I have no idea.

Next time I return the sniper coil will be mounted on the F70 instead of the big DD, and I will hit this thing from different directions so if there is some good jewelry around this court I am going to find it.
Once I get all these pesky coins out of the way.

That is a bunch of digging. Looks like two or three gallons of gas for the Detecting Mobile. Clad adds up and helps pay for our hobby. There is a basketball court in a nice city park in a minority neighborhood that I worked around a little. I have threatened to go dig all the trash signals in a ten foot area around the court but suspect that it would take four days to get all of the aluminum scrap dug and disposed of. Haven't gotten up the energy to go get started yet. I suspect that there is at least one gold items somewhere close to that court. Good luck.

Now thats a haul! i have always wanted to try a smaller coil than the 11"dd in those real trashy places with multiple signals...let us know how it works. Good aerial shot of that court...have you tried outside of that chain link? I can imagine a guy or two slamming into it, and perhaps having a ring or chain peel off?

Those neighborhood basketball courts have been one of my key targets over the last year, found 79 coins in less than an hour at one, and a silver ring and silver pendant at another, last month I pulled a 1948 License plate next to a court. so far so good! Keep up the good work! and as always HH

You was one busy boy... very nice wheaty...

 

[REVIER]

Went back yesterday and hit it again for just one hour but from a different direction.
That always finds me some more that I missed.
Still not done, the possibility of silver or gold still exists, love that there were so many nickel signals.
More to come...I hope.

Thats a bunch of digging. With them nickels there, there fas to be a ring. Are your shoulders hurting? When I do a lot of digging, I have to take the next day off.. Have fun... KEN
