:twodetecting: Detecting a hunted out spots finds

[michael NY]

Its A great feeling of going to an old spot that I hunted quite a few times over, this time I just started thinking of approaching the area from a different angle This spot was an old beach along the lake. The other item is non coin is what looks like a small pocket watch. The nickle is a 42s, I am really eyeing the wheat penny the date is 1911 and I think a chance of a S mint mark, rest are common and Buffalo is dateless but still one of my favorites. The x1 probe comes in very handy great piece of equipment,


Thanks for looking, HH

Nice job there Michael. They may become challenging to hunt but I firmly believe that no site is "hunted out." There is always something someone missed.

We have an old park here that I was told was even gridded with rope and scoured in each grid. Some fantastic finds were made by the two fellows that did this. I had been told (as a newbie) that "no site is ever hunted out", so I gave it a go. That park has yielded 82 silver coins and a couple of rings and three old pins since I started hunting it. You can actually pull some of your best stuff from these "tired" spots. HH.

My better finds have come from area that are considered worked out and nothing left. Now I can listen closer to those weak and iffy signals the Sovereigns are famous for getting those deep and signals next to iron. 2 weeks ago I hit a yard that has been gone over many times in the last 10 years and was told I wont find anything, but I could try. Just a long the sidewalk going slow and listening to the tones and all the nulling of iron I got a 1880 IH, 1889 IH and a 1911 V nickle and 3 Wheaties and even a nice sterling silver necklace with a Catholic Cross on it. Now I want to make time and get back to the main yard and see what else was left for me. These you must go slower and listen close to those changing tones and meter numbers and work the signal to get the best signal you can got, the deeper they are the smaller they become.
