I was detecting a park close to home that has a man-made beach (freshwater) where I have found a few good coins with my deep-seeking modified beach/jewelry program. This morning I hit a faint signal with VDIs varying widely from pos. to neg. This was a sure digger for me because almost all of these type signals turn out to be older coins. I dug to about 6 inches and still no signal with my Garrett pinpointer. I dug 2 inches deeper and my Propointer picked up the signal. Just a little further! I dug to the 8 1/2 to 9 inch level and there it was, an antique aluminum pulltab, circa 1960's. Needless to say, I was very excited and could barely contain the urge to scream with joy! Oh well, maybe next time.

Faint signal
- Thread starter brocantes
- Start date
I was hunting a small park that dates to the late 1800's. I dug a couple of early memorial pennies in the six inch range that were only a few inches apart, a foot away I got a weak high tone "tink" that is almost always deep silver. It turned out to be the old lead fishing weight in the photo at near 10 inches, and the last four to five inches was almost like trying to dig through concrete

what is it with fishing sinkers????
The darn things turn up anywhere and everywhere....miles away from any hunk of water you can still pull one out of the ground.
