Rainy Day...Idle Hands Find "Mischief"

[Mike (Virginia Beach)]

Well, not MISCHIEF I guess, but something semi-useful to do.

I condensed down the Explorer II Digital readings list that Digger posted here a while back, laminated it, and affixed it to the body of the detector. Becuase of how your arm fits in the cup and grips the handgrip, all I have to do it turn my arm a couple degrees to the right and I can readily see the list. I left off a lot of the typical stuff, like the Mercs, Barbers, and clad coins. I mostly wanted the "don't-see-'em-everyday" stuff on there. I put "Silver quarter" on there to more or less "round off" the list, since anything that's even close to that is pretty much getting dug up anyway.

In looking at some of the more obscure digital readings, I figure there's a better than average chance that I passed up a rare target or two at a couple of my older sites, now that I look at them. So I wanted to have it on there as a field reference.

That is a nice thing to have as a general reference Mike...but I am sure you know...Numbers will very due to depth and corrosion etc...a newbie gets this and will adhear to it and miss alot. I have found so many variences with same coins I was shocked but am all the wiser now!

Oh, I know, I know...just want it for a reference. If it's CLOSE, it's a digger. It's just that some things you would have no idea if you haven't dug one of them. I had a few targets in a prime spot that I assumed were trash that matched some of those rare ones. I'll have to go see if I can't find them again.
