After work I hit a small, and I mean small park..........1.4 acres to be exact. NOT 14 acres....lol, but 1.4 acres.
anyhow, I have hunted here in the past with my xterra and never even found a single wheat. I went there today and told myself I would dig anything that had a CO number of 30 and above that was 6" inches or deeper. Well I dug some odd numbers and I ended up with 5 wheats and a 1917 merc dime...YES! ended my 2 week silver drought!
The craziest one was the 1910 wheat, it gave me a screaming 01-35 signal, at 2 ways, both directions it read the same, nice and clear. Now normally I will not dig anything with a FE number of 01 because 99% of the time it only hits one way and it is almost always bent nails. But this hit from two ways clear as a bell, it was a good 8" deep and laying flat.
