I'm vacationing in Kalispell, MT and have been rained out often. Lots of flooding and moisture, but it makes the ground easier to dig. At a home development site, an old homestead house was sitting their just waiting for me to detect around it. Found a bunch of stuff, mostly junk, but came out with a couple of very corroded wheat pennies and an 1894 Indian head penny. It was about 4 maybe 5 inches down and is in great shape. (I need to get a camera for pics!)
One of the wheaties was about 2 inches down and about 45 degrees. It gave a differing sounds when I X'd it, but it still sounded coiny enough to dig, so I dug.
I noticed the buckles and other circular or oval shaped, holed objects gave some strong signals. Even the square buckles gave a strong signal. Hopefully, this will hold true and will bring me some jewelry!
Found a 30-30 casing and it gave a strong signal, but when pin pointing, it was longer in one direction. Later I got a great signal, but it sounded just like the casing I found earlier and I said, "Boy, that sure sounds like that 30-30 casing I found earlier." And it was! What a confidence booster. Would like to be able to do that consistently, so we'll see.
This place looks good for a few old coins and who knows? Lots of great places here; am going to miss it when I head back home.
