hi all. me and a mate went to a park today looking for old silver. the area we hit in the park has an old bottle dump in it and has been used as a car park so has tons of junk in it.
I was using my exp II and running it in all metal,gain at 7,sens at 24 in auto and the mate a xterra 30 by the time i found my first coin a 1956 penny the xt30 had 6 Penny's i was thinking what the hell.
All the coins were about 5-6 inch deep well within detecting range of the EPII so i got my ace 250 out of the car and went over the area i"d detected and bam a 1943 penny then a 1938 half penny both at 3-4 inch. the Aussie penny is the size of your half dollar and is copper so should be easy to find makes me wonder what else i"m missing ????
so how do you guys find old silver and copper coins in heavy trash.
thanks for looking lazyaussie
