Back about 1968, I got a signal at the end of a child's slide. The top medium was sand, with clay under it.I kept on scooping out the sand with a sieve type scoop I had made, and finally got the cent down at something over 14 /16inches.There was a spoon shaped depression in the sand and that coin was resting on top of the clay.Like an idiot, I didn't recheck the distance..So two possibilities exist. One. I kept missing the coin and it went deeper. Two, with the high frequency Fisher, the clay acted as some sort of a reflective antenna and threw the signal up and back at the detector...The distance is so far out of reality, that it has been bugging me for forty years Is # two possible? Cordially NAD..

40 year old coin mystery
- Thread starter nad
- Start date
I reacently recovered a pull tab at about 15".
If I think about it, it makes me nuts.
Just what it is. I don't know???????
I went through precautions to make sure the target wasn't in the side or missed.
In the end I had a pull tab and a hole I could swing my 5.75" coil in.
Now all I have is a fish story,

Pretty strange when you concider that I recovered 4 mini balls 40' from there,
and they were only 5 to 7 inches deep.
If it wasn't old ground, I would not have dug
a hole like that with a pull tab signal.
The area has been filled in a lot with outside dirt.
The trick is to find the few spots that haven't been.
Happy Hunting,
