Well I thought I would follow up my battery posts with a finds post.
Got out to a local lake the other day last week. It's been cold but there was a break in the weather. I was hopping that the winter storms had stirred things up a bit and I think they did. The water is up a bit and so even though I was in the water I was hunting what had been dry beach last year. So the theory was that the waves will now cut down on that old dry beach area and stir things up a bit and perhaps erode down to deeper levels that we couldn't hunt previously (greater than a foot).
ATX ran great and I was digging everything hi/lo -- lo/hi. I found a pocket and the coins were coming first and were concentrated in one area. Some Grennies and 1 wheat with no date. Then came the earrings and then finally that gold ring (first of the year)
I worked it pretty hard cross gridding and mostly dug the stronger and mid strength signals. I retrieved a fair number of bobby pins but am trying to clean the area out for latter hunts. I did dig a few weaker signals but left a lot of those for the next hunt. I've dug plenty of the weak "hero" signal only to find a bobby pin at a foot. Anyway plenty of time to dig those "hero" signals. I don't think the VLF's are hearing them anyway.
