Finished my third trip yesterday to a small ( 1blk x 1/2 blk ) town park that they have torn out. The sod and underlying soil ( ie: rocks ) has been scraped off and hauled away, on the average of 6 to 9 inches removed.
It is a total trash pit with pull tabs, cans, rusty bolts old horseshoes bits of pipe, iron, and broken glass everywhere.
I ground balanced the f-70 before and during each hunt with settings of disc 16, sens 50, speed dp, tones 3h, thres -3 & 4 and useing the 11" f-75 coil.
I will double grid again with the 5" coil later.
My results ( for me ) were amazing! Silver is hard to find here and it makes my breathing speed way up when it pops out!
3 silver quarters 35, 48, & 52.
2 mercs 42 & 45.
2 rosies 46 & 60.
7 clad quarters, 15 clad dimes, 6 nickles, 51 copper pennys, 18 zinc pennies.
30 wheat pennies 17 (2), 19, 20, 30, 32, 37, 40(3), 42 (4), 44, 46, (2), 47, 49, 51, 52, 53, 55, 56 (3) & 58 (2)
That is more silver and wheats than I normally find in a year!!
As you can see from the dates the park seems to date from the mid 1930's to the present. I will be finding out where they hauled the dirt off too!!
Sorry about 3 pics the same , didn't mean to do that! Still green on this picture loading deal
