Hunted at an old school today....

met up with Kyle (Nooberz) today for a hunt at an old school in my area. It was obvious after about 1/2 hour this place has been worked over hard and was cherry picked of silver. I ran TTF about 90% of the time trying to find some stuff the others have missed.

I was digging all nickel signals that were 4" or more, payed off with a no dater buff, and 2 silver nickels. I also got 12 wheats, 1929 Canadian, and a 1907 indian. And a few random items, cufflink, broken ring, etc....it was a good day, fun to get out!

Nice Finds! Congratulations on the old missed coins. Feels good pulling coins out of those "hunted out" sites. :thumbup:

That is a 1913-D Type I Buffalo Nickel. The Buffalo is standing on Raised Ground. Very Nice Find...Jesse.
thanks for pointing that out, did not even realize it!
 
Very nice finds, glad to see that TTF pays off once again. I find that I use it 90 percent of the time. I am going to give multi conduct another go this year just to see. I had alot of good finds in multi, but they seemed to increase 10 fold with TTF. HH Joe

I agree, I find myself using it more and more, I started in conductive, tried real hard, went over an area and it just nulled constantly. So into TTF I went and went over the area again, the coins started popping out!
 
Nice digs........ground still froze here............the buf looks like a 1913 Type I from the reverse..........WTG.......Hawkeye Jim.
 
Nice finds, Goes! I have a couple of questions: How old was the school? Was it a country school or one in-town? I have never had very good luck at schools - not sure why.

Thanks & HH!

it was built in 1908, in town. I am sure the best hunting ground was in the back where playground originally was but that is all paved over with a parking lot. So I only could hunt in the front. I have had great luck at old schools
 
Nice finds - Good to see you could finally get out !

I've been running your 2TF program with the 6" Excellerator Coil I got a few weeks ago - what a killer combo !

Always makes me feel good when I get into a hard hit area and by using experience and knowledge of my detector I make good finds. Impressive to see your results.

Very nice job. :thumbup:

Hey Goes,
Another TTF roundup. I have not have not had good results with TTF but want to give it a go in one area when the sun comes out. I have been wanting to ask you a couple of things about the TTF program and the way you hunt with it. If you have a minute I would appreciate any reply.
As I understand it you:
1. Use a mostly open discrimination screen which is pretty much just the quick mask screen I normally check for iron with but you disc out an area over a small iron area?
2. In two tone the lower half of the screen gives the low tone and upper half all give the high tone all targets must be identified pre dig by looking at the curs er position?

My questions are; Do you dig every target that comes in the high tone? I'm sure you look at your screen and courser each high tone and then make the decision weather or not to dig right?
Why do you think that multi tone does not give you better information as I particularly use the tones over the screen to identify good targets while in the conductive?
I guess I am just trying to understand why less discrimination with the screen and sounds is not better.

What are your thoughts?
 
I am in red below!

As I understand it you:
1. Use a mostly open discrimination screen which is pretty much just the quick mask screen I normally check for iron with but you disc out an area over a small iron area? I use the relic screen to start with then I disc out 01-01 thru 01-30, I used to go up to 31 but allow them to come thru now as some deep indians come in at 01-31
2. In two tone the lower half of the screen gives the low tone and upper half all give the high tone all targets must be identified pre dig by looking at the curs er position? pretty much yes

My questions are; Do you dig every target that comes in the high tone? depends totally on the site, if I am at an old house or field yes, if I am at a park or fairground and I am using TTF because of high iron, then I am more selective. but I dig ALL NICKEL SIGNALS and things close to nickel range as well I'm sure you look at your screen and courser each high tone and then make the decision weather or not to dig right?
Why do you think that multi tone does not give you better information as I particularly use the tones over the screen to identify good targets while in the conductive? TTF in multi tone is way too much music for my ears to process, by using two tone there is no confusion and you can really concentrate on pullings coins out of the iron
I guess I am just trying to understand why less discrimination with the screen and sounds is not better.

What are your thoughts? trial and error, play with it, see what u prefer. I prefer what I use, I have tried many different combos, 100% open VS what I use now, I tried multi tone, 4 tone, and 2 tone. I feel 2 tone serves me best!
 
Goes4ever, I bet you were glad to be able to get out with all the snow that you have had. That was a good batch of nickels and a nice Indian to boot. Thanks again for the TTF set up, I am really like that set up at the old house sites. Thanks Randy
