Had some time to get away from the garage last night, and decided to start on some new ground - a section of a riverside park that I've never had a coil over. About 100 yards from there is where Mike and I have pulled some nicer coins on a previous trip, so we figured this area would be no different....
My second signal was a 1929 D Wheat from about 7" - and it was ON from there! We found a small area containing a lot of small, iffy signals - and decided to concentrate our efforts in this area after the Wheat came up. Pulled two more Wheats in about 20 minutes, and then I got a weird signal that sounded like a bottlecap - the VDI ranged from 76-90 in 4kHz and the audio was odd - but I've pulled plenty of coins that sounded "off" in another area closeby. Much to our surprise out came a crusty 1918 S Merc at only 4" deep?!
Not far away I received a small signal that turned out to be a deep token - with the words "DITAT DEUS" on one side. Translates into "God Enriches" and is a tax token from Arizona - my first from that state. Seeing the word "Deus" on the coin was a little strange, and I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me in the dark LOL
Going slow and listening for those slight, smooth responses makes the surface targets blare - this is how I found the set of working earbuds - the detector picked up the plug-in terminal - I tried these in the remote, and they work great! Another noteworthy surface hit was a small sterling ring just under the grass - after Mike called it a ring - not 5 seconds later I had it in my hand. Mike had found a few recent coin spills next to a boulder, and we went on near the end of the hunt to pull several more Wheats each, with Mike pulling the deepest keeper of the night - a 9-inch deep 1887 Indian cent!
After we were finished, we concluded that this area hasn't seen as much detector activity compared to other parks - so several return trips are warranted to see what else lays in wait
