Just When You Think You Know It All

[RLOH]

I Started hunting with my Etrac this spring and have done well with silver and wheaties, but not one Indian Head penny. Today I was hunting an old fairground and I was not finding much of anything. I got a deep 12-35 signal which are many times zincs, but since it was deep on the gauge, I dug it. Out pops a 1895 IH. It was about 7 inches deep. I immediately thought that I most have missed many IH's by not digging these signals so I went back to where I started detecting. In an hour, I found 4 more IH's. I got that signal imprinted on my brain now. For the kicker, while hunting this 100 foot by 30 foot spot, I also got a 1910 Barber dime and a 1895 Barber quarter. I don't know what was here, but the ground was full of rusty nails. I have been over it many times and have found many newer silver coins, but nothing this old. I have had Explorers since they came out and I never experienced what some call "ghost signals", but today in this spot, I dug four or five plugs that sounded exactly like deep coins with numbers to match. Absolutely nothing. It must have been the abundance or rusty iron is all I can figure. So Bryce, if you are reading, I now know what is up with these signals. R.L.

lucky you, indians never give me solid signals like that unless they are shallow. I have had them come in as crazy as 01-31, 01-32, 08-30..........but I pretty much am hunting by sound, I merely look at the number trying to "guess" what I am going to dig. But at the iron infested farm houses I hunt, numbers are rarely text book 12-35...lol

Congrats on finding all those Indians! I get them with ferrous numbers all over the place and conductivity numbers that range from 34 to 36. Nice job! Congrats on the Barber dime and Barber quarter!!!

HI I would go back over those ghost signals because a lot of times the coin is straight up no tilt and they can be off a few inches from were you dig and when you put the prob in the hole it nulls out from the iron. I like to recheck the hole after i put the dirt back in and see if i still get the good coin sound and pinpoint it again. Have found good coins doing this.If it sounds to good it is good just have to find it.

The old saying always wins "dig everything"
