Another junk filled day, went to two different parks and a school yard. Trash everywhere, spent 3 hours digging trash, was getting really sick of it. Almost thinking of giving up the hobby. Almost felt like it was the 1970's digging pull tabs and bottle caps by the handfuls..........except here it's can slaw, juice cap seals and and huge foil. For three hours I netted a quarter and two dimes and 1 penny.
Went home for a snack and play with the cats for awhile. Thought I would give one other school yard a try. Wife wanted the car, that school will have to be left for another day.
Decided to go across the street to the school yard there, convenient to play for an hour or so. I have taken the Teknetics Delta and Omega over there, they drove me crazy with all the trash there. Also used a few other machines....found many coins. Took the PI there and found a heck of a lot more that the other machines missed. I mentioned in another post how my PI doesn't like pennies. Well wanted to see how many pennies the PI missed in an area I have hunted to death, I thought. Grabbed the new old Tesoro Bandido II with the 10x12 SEF search coil. Wasn't expecting to find much......Ground balanced the Tesoro and popped it into disc mode, set at just above foil. Dug a bunch of pul tabs, bottle caps, some can slaw and foil. And a whole bunch of pennies, some quarters, several dimes and nickels, hash pipe bowl, keys and a ring. Yeah the ring was covered in dirt and looked like a junker. Cleaned the ring up, well lookee here, it's gold with a diamond, 10k, 1.5 grams, worth $35.00. That's my second gold ring for the year. Have to get back across the street and start a grid, there has to be at least one more pc. of gold there. By the way most of the pennies found were 5-6" deep.
