Old worn silver

floodplaindetector

Well-known member
Finds are from 3 hunts over the last 2 weekends with the Equinox at some small town city parks and schools where I knew I would hardly seeing anyone in view.
The 1877 seated liberty dime is paper thin and was about 7 inches deep.
The seated and barber dimes and some of the other targets were found yesterday about 70 miles from home in an old school playground. Most of the ground was thawed out which was a bonus.
I just used the stock coil. The deepest target was the old pocket watch @ about 10 inches. Deepest coin was about 7-8 inches.
Park1 mode seems to hit pretty hard on silver in my dirt. On the small bent silver ring without the stone target, I switched out of Park1 into Park2 then Field2 to hear the signal and it was a lot quieter in Park2 and Field2.
Even with the frequency shift trick, the crown caps were still kicking me in the rear. Still managed to get 1/2 dozen old nickels back to 1940 and 3 were silver war nickels.
Also got 21 wheat pennies back to 1912 and the 1891 Indian.

Some of my settings were Park1 / Sensitivity 24-25 / Ground Balance 0 / Iron bias: F2 = 0 / Recovery 4. Always noise cancel.

Nice haul... Every city park I hit just gives me modern clad coins. Good Job..!
 
Good job Dave schools are great spots right now with them being closed I’m hitting them to.

In my soil those rusty bottle caps crackle a bit and the signal is not clear I’ve got them down pretty good don’t dig as many as I use to lol.
Settings look similar to what I use ..nice haul

Some of the crown caps sound so good in my soil, I don't even bother trying a frequency shift and just dig them. I can tell this detector is good on nickels when the crown caps
aren't getting in the way for me.

thanks. Appreciate it!
Yes, I am starting to do that as I am learning the nuances of this machine.
I would like to get a 10 inch deep coin but I guess as long I keep getting targets in the 7-8 inch range I wont complain.
It has surprised me with the silver jewelry so far.
I just have to forget a lot of what I know with the eTrac and realize this detector is a lot different.

Well done, I like to switch modes on a deep one once in a while and check response as well.
