After getting a haircut, I headed to a park in a small town about a half hour away. I had searched this park two times before, but knew that I had not covered it thoroughly. Clad was all I had found the two previous times and it was a decent amount, five or six bucks each time. So I was hoping to find a similar amount this time and perhaps a little surprise of some kind to go along with any clad.
About an hour and a half into the hunt, I had about two bucks in clad along with some trash. Doing a grid pattern close to the skateboard area, the F70 gave me a 77-78 signal, three inches down. I was near a tree, so had to deal with some roots, but not too bad. I found the target and was surprised that it was a barber dime! I could see that it was quite worn, but I certainly wasn't expecting a barber. Figured if I was going to find a silver dime that it would probably be a rosie or merc. The last digit in the date is wore off, but it is from the 1890's with a s mintmark.
Got back to searching and fifteen minutes later found an eight clad quarter spill. I was pleased with my finds and glad that I had gone back to that park for a third time.
F70, 11" coil, disc 4, sens 41, thresh -1, dp tones, notch 1. I have been using dp tones for a few months and I like it a lot. Seems to help with separation and depth, I seem to find more when I use it. I do miss the nickel tone alert when I used to use 3H.
