scored silver at the park..I RARELY hunt parks...lol

went to a park that I have hunted at a ton of times before and never even dug a wheat there let alone a silver. But then again I have never used the etrac there before either. I went back today to give it a shot for a short hunt. I planned on only digging signals 5-6" or deeper.

I got a scratchy dime signal that only hit from one way, nulled from all other directions. So I flipped it into 2 tone ferrous and I got a solid 09-45 from one way and 10-45 from the other direction. Dug down about 5 inches and out popped my first ever silver from this park....1944 merc. A few minutes later I got a similar signal and it was a wheat.

Got a 4-5" deep quarter signal and I normally dig all quarter signals anyhow, just in case it could be a silver ring. Anyhow I ended up going about 8" deep and found this old brass lock. Last thing I found was the fancy handle, I think it is brass and possibly an old shaver handle? Anyhow I will have to give this park a lil more attention on days when I don't have an old farm to go to. :thumbup:
 
great job on the silver. Maybe you will start hitting up parks more often. could you tell me how you set up your machine to 2 tone ferrous. I would only use it in this situation. Seems like it really was a deciding factor in dig or pass. thanks
 
Nice job,Thanks for the story and the pictures!

Funny how those of us with the bug know just how your feeling when you come away with a silver. Its a good day any day I find silver wether I hunt for 8 hours or 8 minutes for some reason its just cool. Nice job getting the fix in!

hope to get time to get mine soon too!

how true, it is amazing how those lil silver coins can change the way a day ends! :thumbup:
 
Nice recoveries from a pounded park!!

Parks are my main source of hunting....I'm so glad that there are so many in my area, and they will produce lots of silver/wheats for the ones that know their machines, and have the patience to go very slow in the trash.

I bet you will find more. Creep very slowly in the trash zones!!
