Ancient Aztec bottle opener and more!

And we thought the beer cap was a modern invention! The first dug trash (except the hash pipe) that I will make good use of.
Hash pipe was a joke...

Went back to the school that I found 5 mercs and other assorted goodies last year. I didn't find any silver coinage, but I did find some decent stuff and in just a small area. I realized what I'm forced to do different when I slow down in the trashy areas...My advance movement is in smaller increments thereby giving me much better coverage than I normally get hunting a clean property. I didn't cover much ground but the goodies kept appearing amongst the trash. There must be some buried cables because the Sov was going crazy in a couple spots.

The 1917 George V big head had to have been a show and tell piece or from dads collection. It looked like it was dropped last year. It was about 3 inches down and surrounded by the pieces of welding rod you see. The signal was barely discernible but it bled through. I started pulling the wires out of the hole and thought it was just another false read on a nail. I was getting more signals with the PP but decided to rescan the hold. It sung out loud and clear that time. I thought it was another sports token I often dig. The silver girls ring was about 5 inches down. Lots of trash but a very fun to hunt with the Sov now that it has a meter.
 
Good job. You're right about advancing your sweeps in much shorter advances and overlaping by a large margin in trashy areas. In my tests on masked coins there will often only be one small spot on the coil in which the coin will sound through over the masking.
 
great digging , I know when they do construction all kinds of things get churned up or unmasked that a lot of coin maybe it was the beer drinking that led to the downfall of the aztecks
 
Ok Ism - I will bring the Aztec beer; you already have the opener :cheers:

Good job, and nice finds.
