My 3rd Day City Park Hunting. GOT LUCKY..!

[fastdraw]

I could only spend a couple hours hunting today, so I went to a 7-acre city park, that I've never hunted before. Found 23 Clad, junk jewelry etc.
AND ONE 1842 Seated Liberty Dime..!
10 inches deep. How unexpected is that in a city park..!! My three days city park hunting has treated me well... and easy digging, with tons of finds.
I was totally dumbfounded.
Nox-600
Park-2
Recovery-2. With a very slow swing
Sensitivity-22

Yep.. I'm going back. It was a 7 acre park and only spent a few hours there. But pulling up another old silver is NOT expected.

I swear its when your half asleep and losing interest for the day is when the neatest finds just jump out....... good dig!!

Fastdraw, can you describe how that sounded on the 600 that deep?

 

[Mark kus]

Yep.. First Silver 2021

Nice one of my first this year was a seated!

Seated coin is on my bucket list, 1842 WOW!
I wish that coin could talk, it was probably lost pre civil war, never know it could have been in Abraham Lincoln's pockets?

Fastdraw, can you describe how that sounded on the 600 that deep?

because I took my time on my ground balance, and the noise cancellation, and high sensitivity and a low recovery speeds. and a lower swing than I usually do, It sounded just like a dime with a 27 VDI. At about 10-inches.

Awesome score..

Nicely done. Is the recovery setting and slow swing something new you are trying?

 

[fwcrawford]

That dime is an exceptional find anywhere!!

Yes... Slowing my swing so I don't miss a target, and a lower recovery speed for more accurate target ID numbers, and more accurate dept.

Well now, lookey here!! Amazing find, fastdraw!! I'd sure enough pat myself on the back on that hunt.
Congrats, sir!

I was playing around with that last year. Didnt go as low as 2 recovery. Will give it a try when the ground thaws in April.

I have the Nox-600 model, so a recovery speed of 2 on my machine is a 4 on the 800-Model

Fantastic find!

Ahhhh, thats right. We have a little bit different settings. I have used the 4 on my 800 quite a bit and slowed my swing speed. I found some IHP's and a silver thimble in my own yard that I have gone over numerous times with various detectors. I have also switched to 50 tones. By doing that I was able to hear good targets amongst other trash. Sometime in only one direction.
