Been real busy around work the last two months - I was called back to my old job 8 weeks ago ( working midnight's ) - also been doing some of my own logging jobs and working here on the farm - needless to say - I don't get out to hunt as much I would like to. With time being so limited - I've been trying to hunt sites that have produced some good old finds in the past - swinging low and very slow - hunting the same areas - coming in from different angles and listening for the deeper chirps. This style of hunting seems to really pay off with the E-Trac !
Found the Kennedy Half during short hunt along a section of old sidewalk. It's the 8th Half Dollar I've found in two years - ( two Walking Liberty's and six Kennedy's so far) - now I just need to be lucky enough to find a Barber Half and a Franklin Half - then put them all together - that sure would make a great looking display !
Found the 1906 Indian and the 1952 Rosie Dime in the front yard of an old abandoned house - got a bouncy signal on the Indian Cent but it kept coming back into the good range - dug this IHC in hard dirt - at a measured 9" - pretty impressive because I was using my 6" Excellerator Coil !
The Religious Medallion was 5" to 6" down along the walkway of a 1800's house that was just torn down. This medallion came in as a solid FE -(12 )- CO (46/47) - because of the depth I thought it was going to be large silver or a large cent - oh well ... still a pretty good find. Even though it's made of Aluminum - I think it's pretty old.
The 1941 Mercury Dime - 1937 Buffalo Nickel and the 1943 Silver War Nickel were found on the lawn of an old school. Both of the Nickel's are in real nice condition - you don't find Buffalo's with a date this clear very often !
The Wheat Cents were found at all of these locations.
All of these sites were loaded with iron - almost all of the targets were deep - and as always ... I was running in Two Tone Ferrous.
Good hunting to all ! --- Mark
