Took the T2 Classic out for a couple hunts. First site was the site of an old post office and possibly a stagecoach stop from the mid 1800's that's nothing but hedge trees and scrub brush now.
My first target was the 1888 indian head penny , and a few feet away, the eagle button with some of the gold plating still intact. Also found the brass washer ? and the other eagle button in an
area that was littered with square nails of various sizes, probably the original site of the building. The T2 Classic did a fine job of pulling the targets out of the nails with the stock coil, 3 tones, 85 sens, 21 disc.
The second site was a farm field that once had a house setting on the site dating from the 1840's - 1850's, owned by a well known short horn cattle breeder. There was a small community located here with two stores, a post office, and a train depot all
in the area I'm hunting My finds in the field was the 1911 and 1914 Wheaties, dateless buffalo nickel, brass wedding band, a piece of Victorian jewelry with a face on it, an 1888 seated dime, and the diamond shaped pin that has writing on it but I haven't got
it cleaned up enough to read. The site has lots of iron and all sorts of other debris from the old house, but the T2 Classic pulls good targets out of the trash easily. The next target may be the elusive gold coin that I have been hunting for the last 35 years.....
