there is this park in my area where an old school used to be from 1920's to 1960 something. I have hunted all over this park but only one small area has ever yielded any old coins.
Well that little area about 100 x 100 feet, has given up a lot of silver and wheats in last 2 yrs. I hunted it hard with my xterra, and have hit it hard with my etrac, 2 of my buddies has detected it hard and they have an etrac and a SE pro.
We were to the point where we thought we had it hunted out, last 2 trips I did not get any old coins, not even a wheat here. Well recently I started using the two tone ferrous and thought this would be a good test to use here because for 2 yrs this small area has been hunted to death with 3 minelabs.
I went there and dug every non ferrous signal I got that was more than 3 or 4 inches. First find was the 1942 merc dime, I was shocked and could not believe the 3 of us missed a silver, well then came 2 wheats, several old nickels, including a buffalo, war nickel, other Jeffersons from the 1940's.
I was cruising along slow as possible got a high tone and from the numbers looked to be like aluminum/iron mix but directly beside it and much deeper I kept getting a 09-36, 10-40, but it was so close I could barely separate them. So I dug the can slaw, covered the plug and rechecked the other signal, it came in a lil better now easier to hear beside the iron. Cut a deep plug and in the hole was a 1906-D barber quarter and 1929 buffalo nickel!
so for any of you naysayers who say 2 tone does not work, fine with me, don't try it. But I am seeing just how powerful this program can be in a park I felt was truly "hunted out by minelabs!"
I think this program works miracles on old nickels too, they seem to just pop out of the ground using this method.
First pic is all the non ferrous TRASH I dug today that never gave a good enough signals before with all the iron near by. And look at the iron that was in the holes with some of the coins.
