Got out for 2 hours this morning in our oldest Pittsburgh city park. I can't get decent photos with my camera on the cents. Any suggestions on how to scan them. Anyway, hunting with the EX II and the 10X12 SEF coil I found a 1901 Queen Victoria Hong Kong cent, 1892, 1896 and 1904 Indians and 1917, 1918 and 1920 Lincolns. Oddly, no silver this time. The Victoria and the Indians were all at least 9" deep. The Indians did not have that coin sound at all. More just like a low pitch warble but they repeated from all sides. The smart screen showed them about where they should have been and had I not used the smart screen I probably would have passed them up. The soil in this park is very loamy and my guess is the heavier silver is waaay deep. This presents a kind of dilemma because using a larger coil in this park for greater depth would be difficult because of all the damn trash. Any suggestions for finding the deepies is appreciated. This park is right across the Allegheny River from downtown Pittsburgh and the area has been inhabited and used widely since the 1700's.
