Well got up yesterday morning, wanted to do some detecting but it was raining and snowing pretty good up here, after looking at the satellite and doppler, it look like the rain was just about past Oakland, so off for a little (long) drive. Got there around noon, Partly sunny and warmer, got the machine out, turned it on and noise cancelled, the machine was going crazy
, turned down the sensitivity, ended all the way down to 15 before it quit falsing, I then decided to turn it on to auto +3, at that point I was able to run at an average of 20, with no nulling or falsing
. First hit was a solid 12 - 13 I knew this was a nickel, sure enough it was, next hit high tone, started to get excited it read 11/12 - 46/47 down about 5" I came up with a old clad quarter
next hit was 12 - 42, Copper Penny? sure enough it was the 1944 wheat, about 5 feet away I get a hit right next to a very large tree root, very high pitch, Ferrous was jumping between 10 and 13
CO stood steady around 45 and 46, after digging down next to root about 6" out pops this Dime very dark in color, right off the bat I can see the face of the Mercury goddess
after a little cleaning I noticed that it was also a 1944, Not in to good of shape but still Silver.
Here are a few Pics.
Total for the day
