Return to IH Park - it didn't fail me!

[drkp88]

I did a quick hunt at an old park I worked pretty well a couple years ago. I dubbed it "IH Park" because I always found at least one IH every time I went there - usually multiples. It became my "go to" place.
I hadn't been there for a couple years and decided to give it a quick shot.
I turned up three IHs - 1890, 1905, 1907. Also four wheats including 1910, 1911, 1914.
My total IHs from this park is 180 and I know there has to be many more.
Thanks for sharing.

I've kept a spread sheet of all my finds since I started this hobby in 1987. The three indian head cents I dug this week bring my career total to 906 ! The most out of one single park is 487 ! I have all the dates except 1866, 1877, 1908-S and 1909-S. Think I'll have to travel out to San Francisco to find those S mint marks !

Ed,

I'm still missing a few of the 1870s and sixties. They sure seem a lot harder to find than the more recent dates. But a lot of the IHs I have are in very nice condition, got some sites that are very kind to copper.

I am searching areas in an old Fraser 1800's Mi park that no one will hunt anymore! No place is ever hunted out! There are a lot of power lines over the park. The Explorer will tune out disturbance. I have used my 15" wot and too much iron... have to turn sense down to 13 or less to hunt causing no depth detection and not good separation (still good though on beaches and no trash areas).
With this 14.5" R.I.F. DD TURBO COIL from Russia (very light) I can turn the sense up to 21 to 26..sometimes to 29!!!..UNBELIEVABLE! In 6 hunts... 2 to 3 hours ... I have pulled 2 Merc's and 2 rosies 6-10" and 8-$9 in clad...all at 3-12" deep withs 1 to 6 pieces of old iron nails, screws, pull tabs and other trash right next to them (within 1 to 4" away) with overhead high tension wires above! The screen shows the numbers for the trash and the coin jumping back and forth and you can hear the differences distintly! I use deep, full gain..havent need fast yet! .. but move and walk around in a circle once you hear the good tone get the tone to the front of the coil. Pinpoint will show you the other targets...turn it off and when you move ever slow slowly between the trash this coil will give you a clear sound of the coin...then swing or squiggle oh so gently back and forth in a few centimeters and back up slowly until the coin sound has dissappeared...the coin will be right under the front of the coil within an inch 6-12" down!!!
This coil separes and lets the good signal come thru like a 6" Joey coil in trash even though the iron is under the 15" coil along with the coin! Another thing!...when you have 3/4 of the screen blacked out the good signals come in stronger more so than having a clear screen!!! I can't explain this... it is totally unreal! I cant wait to get to areas I have given up on years ago using a multitude of coils I have. I absolutly love this detector and new coil. Remember to ground balance frequntly!!! It makes a big difference... balance it in all metal mode in clear ground with a totally blank screen...no discrinination (Mistake most make). It you are under high tension wires... ground balance holding the detector still horizontal to the ground at waist hight. Also keep coil horizontal to the ground. Remember while huntinting to always have the sensitivity to where you always hear the threshold 80% or more of the SLOW swing no matter how low you have to turn the sensitivity down to!
Get one of these you will not be dissappointed!!! John
