Went back to the ballpark where I found 2 silvers

[wishfish]

I went back where I used my cz3d to get 2 silver dimes. This time I brought my Tejon with a more "dig everything" approach, hoping to squeeze out some more silver. I hunted for 6 hours within the small area where the silver popped up. it was maybe a quarter acre where I thought the hot spot was. I was using the 6 inch concentric and the 6 inch wide scan hoping I could find something the cz didnt. I ran the Tejon with high sens and the disc a bit behind foil just to get rid of the small pieces of foil and keep any small gold. I ended up digging 146 ring pulls, 1 copper penny, a modern nickel, as well as some other random trash. Sometimes you're better off cherry picking! Never found that many ring pulls in one day ever and there's still plenty left!

I have been trying an old school lately and like you, found a few silver coins in one small area.
This school yard is huge and yet I have not found any silver coins anywhere else other than this small area.
Only I can figure in my case is that this site was pounded, but somehow this small area was overlooked.
It is tough enough detecting with a TID detector and I do not think I could bear using a beep dig machine.
Still, it was worth a try and who knows what you may have found with that Tejon.

146 ring pulls! Wow, that's got to be a record. Hopefully some of those trash targets turn into treasure for you.

Ya I'm hoping I cleared the area out for some deeper targets to pop up.

Well, sometimes you gamble and you lose. Hopefully you'll make up for it next time.

Crazy amount of ring pulls.
Though you didn't get skunked.

Got back with a big coil next now that you've cleaned it out.

Go Deep young man Deep.

I would have been inventing new curse words by the 20th pulltab, I commend your fortitude!! Tesoro guys are different animals, lots of great success stories to show for their hard work. No doubt it will pay off for you! Good luck. JJ

man that's a lot of tabs but I've had times I'd dig every tab signal trying to clean up not missing something within that range.
I was out of the game for some years (medical) and thought my days of detecting was over and gave away a handful of detectors and the Tejon was one of them that I should have kept. At least I did keep about 4 Tesoro's among others - slowly getting back in the game...
Times I find a detector with no display it's all about audio - just something I like about it. And knobs instead of buttons - takes me back.
Small coils for trashy areas and larger coils to punch down.

Think I would have quit after 25. My Deus 1 was pretty spot-on for detecting modern pull tabls. 30-32 range nickels usually were 28-30. If it bounced under 30 I'd dig it.
Old silver may have developed some corrosion depending on moisture. They may not ring up as high as we'd suspect, 90+. So I'd dig the high 80's if I knew there was old silver.

Next time, trust your meter !!!

PS. I did dig a very nice gold ring at a solid 70 which is an unusual reading on my Deus 1. Good thing I dug it. I now dig ALL solid 70's !!!
There was a ring guard soldered into this ring. Looks to be custom made with various stones. Diamonds did test real.
