It's finally warming up a little but - tonight it was about 35 which is very comfortable considering what we've been getting temperature wise, and we've gotten off relatively easy compared to our northern neighbors! I had about 2 and a half hours of time tonight to poke around the fairgrounds - the area I found most of the oldies a few days ago. Dug four bottlecaps, some foil, and a large brass cap initially. Found a faint high-toned signal which turned out to be a steel nut around 8" deep.
All the coins sounded great...the quarter IDed 95-96, the dime a solid 91, but the war nickel and pennies jumped around a bit and wouldn't "lock on", but were loud and confident audio signals. Stayed in Prog#8 the whole time and maybe dug 25 targets altogether. There are still tons of iffy signals out there, and I wonder if they are simply deeper older coins. Quarter and dime were 5" down, and pennies and nickel were only 2-3" deep. Really starting to "dig" this detector the more time I get behind it! 11" coil is coming soon so the deepies don't stand a chance!
