My humble offering for the day - about $3.50 and a silver Shakespeare bracelet - plus a detecting tip..

This was my day for pennies and I got tired of digging them and left a bunch. Never saw so many danged pennies. They were everywhere. John would have been in heaven. Still wound up with nearly 50 of them. Got another one of those wide signals that I couldn't separate. Was going to probe after I centered it but remembered I had two pinpointers, the Sun Ray and the new Garrett PP, so since the targets were shallow I used the Pro-Pointer to scan the area. Got a beep and dug a bottle cap. Ran the coil over the area again and got a solid signal that read "quarter" and that's what it was.

THis was a case of two targets close to each other and forming one solid signal which allowed the bottlecap to hide the quarter. So keep this in mind when you get a signal like this and dismiss it as junk or a big can. You can use the former method I described or use your pinpointer ( if you have one ) for shallow targets.

Used the new PP on several targets and it works great. Garrett done good.

Nice going. Glad to see you had a reason to play with the new toy.

Just curious, from someone who has never found more than about 15 coins in a hunt, longest of which was about an hour, how long does it take one to dig that many coins??
Thanks

I spent about three hours rounding that batch up. It was a big park so required a lot of wandering around. A few days ago at this park I picked up close to four dollars under and around one tree. This park gets a lot of traffic with people laying and sitting on the grass all over the place, so I hit the spots where they all congregate.
