Went downtown last night in search of some unfrozen soil. Stopped by the Occupy Boise camp area and decided to metal detect the grass between the street and the sidewalk there. Its about 2 blocks from the state capital and is lined with parking meters. I decided to focus on all repeatable signals that I figured were not coins or I suspected were Gold. Pulled out a size 11 14k ring at 4 inches deep, and a rhinestone encrusted pig at 3 or 2 inches. It fell in the gold range but I am sure its not. The ring weighs 7 grams. It shined up nice. The pig is a little rough but was fun to find. I pulled some clad and the typical pull tabs and balled up can slaw. Not much junk probably 5 peices compared to 20 or so good targets. I did some experimenting with deep and fast and found I like both to be set to off. I found a target that was right next to an old sidewalk that was about 10 inches deep that beeped only with both set to off. I think a lot of guys who detect Boise only hunt coins so there is still plenty of jewelry left for me. Idigid
