Decided to make a morning trip to my Courthouse permission to try and beat the heat later in the day. Got a 4 hour hunt in before the temperatures hit 90 degrees. Due to the heat and the dry ground, I decided to only hunt the high tones for a change. I will wait until we have had some good rain until I take the time to dig all those low and mid tone holes.
This hunt was done with the stock coil using an open screen, ferrous line at 24 and manual sensitivity at 21. I hit a portion of the grounds that I had not hunted yet and it really was incredible. It seemed I was pulling coins and silver everywhere! My second hole that morning resulted in the 1964 Washington quarter only 3 inches down which rang in at 12-46. I then found two more Mercury dimes (1942 and 1941) 15 minutes later one after another. I then got a strong 12-47 signal but it wasn't tight enough for a coin. It just sounded too nice to pass up so I sunk a plug and after a lot of digging I recovered a very nice and very old and ornate piece of brass furniture trim with a recessed finger cup in the center. It was about 8-9 inches deep. Continuing on, I then got a very iffy signal that mostly read iron but a couple of times it hit in the 12-42 range. After digging down, I was disappointed to pull out a very long section of coiled rusty wire. After filling the hole, I ran the coil over it again and got a sweet high tone at 12-44. Popped the plug again and found a bright and shiny 1941 Merc. A few minutes after that I had another iffy signal that I decided to dig and in with the nails at 7-8 inches was a 1935 Mercury! My fifth silver for the hunt. It was starting to really get hot so I found a few more things such as the 1956 Tennessee dog tag which rang up as 12-47 and the 1930-1940's ladies compact which was at a measured 11 inches when I finally unearthed it. Decided to call it a day after that and ended up with five silver coins, a few nice relics and 59 coins in total.
