one hour hunt...silvers

gunwolf

Well-known member
had an hour at the old "giving" park this morning, I had not been there for about a month. the ground was extremely hard and digging was tough.
5 niutes in and I found a Queen victoria quarter (no date) that I pulled at 5" deep right next to a fresh plug? then I walked about 20 feet and found the merc...very strage numbers but a great tone, it was a solid 30-50 both directions . I found no nails around the coin but this area is full of them, so I assume they were there. I found the V nickel and the Barber quarter(no date) about half hour later within 5 ft of each other. the IH and wheat were both very deep and very hard to dig.
I didn't find out till last night that Eva had visited the park later that day and also pulled similiar coins..congrats Eva!

About the best hour hunt you could have. Congrats! A 30-50 is a strange number for that merc. I have never found a coin with a 50 conductive number, always is iron, but you never really know until you dig it.

I have found lately that when running "hot" with my sensitivity at 28-29 my FE and CO numbers will be way off. I found a silver ring yesterday morning at 4" in extremely dry/hard soil that had a great high pitch tone and was reading 35-50 steady in all directions.
I don't know why, maybe iron close by or running my sens. that high. I have also learned something about my E-trac ... I used to get high pitch tones and would watch the FE numbers jump to the 30's...I read that this means junk...
well now If I am over a target and it has a nice tone and the FE numbers are in the 30's I hit pinpoint and wave back and forth...if the CO number stays at a steady reading I dig and it is a coin at least 75% of the time. if the CO numbers are jumping from 42-46-48-49 it is a rusty nail 99% of the time. I don't know why this works for me but I would have passed on a few recently found silvers if I had not figured this out.
so for me:
good tone, steady CO number, I DIG!
 
Nice coins.

I remember years ago, before I had a pinpointer I gave up on many signals I could not dig out. So not so surprising.
 
Sweet coins !!!!
 
Very nice for one hour!!!!
 
Congrats on some great finds !

If you found that many old coins in that short of a hunt - there's more !
I'd go back ASAP - looks like a good place to hunt till you leave empty handed !

Good luck !
