A cold morning it was. There actually was frost on the pumpkins which my wife has on the front porch. My buddy and I met at Harvey's for a great breakfast. We needed those calories to stay warm......
So much for water hunting.....everything is frozen. Now that is a problem.......However, the place is old, and we just had to switch gears and stick with land hunting.
Here's my first high-low signal and what a surprise! A 1929 Canadian Penny found in an area hunted to death. The oxides that coat coins at this area sometimes make VLF detectors read coins as junk.
After about an hour or so, I got a hit, then another, then another until I finally stopped at 8 coins. There were just about toast with all the oxide eating away at them. One had a reeded edge suggesting a dime.
Must be my day for coins....Have you ever passed by a piece of clothing, wonering if there might be any coins left behind in a pocket? Well, I passed over this old jacket, torn to shreads, yet got a loud high-low signal. Suggesting that it might be coin(s), I unfolded the jacket and found a clump of older coins all clumped together with rust. I have them soaking at home in water with a slight touch of vinegar to help break them apart.
Here's the total finds including all the junk. Some of the tiny targets came in at the 6" mark, with some spare distance between the coil and dirt.
Here are the measurements in inches of some of the targets I dug today. My sensitivity was set at 11 and threshold at 6, ground balanced and set using auto-track.
Below is a find by my buddy using his AT Pro.
