I went back to a church school behind a very old church. I had been waiting for the ground to get wet and since it rained last night, I figured I would give it a try. I started at one end behind the sidewalk and found their buried sprinkler head. The next signal about 6 inches away was a Merc and the ground was like a rock. Guess the rain didn't help, but I decided to detect some more. About 5 feet away was another Merc. In front of the sidewalk, I hit a Washington Quarter and another Merc. I got another signal that I thought would be another Merc and was surprised to find a Rosie in the bottom of the 8 inch hole. I thought that I could hear the difference so I probed around the hole and got a nice high Merc sound on the side, but only 2 inches deep and pulled out the Merc. I have ordered the Kodak video camera and wish I had it for this find. Before you think I am nuts, I think that the Rosies sound louder and slightly higher pitch than Mercs. Ended up with six silver there. I drove to an old Cleveland and when I arrived found a new school where the old one was. The back yard had large trees, so I gave it a try. It was mostly all screwed up by the contractors. I don't understand why the have to screw with the grass 300 feet from the school. It was mostly broken concrete and junk, but I did pull another Rosie. I tried another school where I had found silver, but it was very difficult because they had spread ashes from the boiler all over the play area. I found that the E-Trac was very quiet and stable, but I just didn't go anything of mention. This is a fun hobby.
