Back to my friends yard……

[Ronstar]

Just over a week ago my grade school friend let me onto his childhood home. I got a silver Rosie and two silver Washingtons. Jkline was in on the one hunt a day later and between the two of us we cleared nearly 30 wheaties and a no date Buffalo. We also got a couple tokens and misc junk that my friend had tons of fun trying to identify. He kept the wheats I got the silvers.

Today I went back mainly due to the fact it is unseasonably warm here for Dec 1, 58 degrees. Set the SEF 12x10 on, ran the F75 at 99 sens, 1 tone, DE mode, 0 disc, 1notch, and took off 90 degrees diff from first hunt. Previously I worked a more conservative setting with disc at 10 and 80 sens and 3H tones. About fell over today, pulled 12 more wheats (two were 1915 and 1917) a couple 1925s, the rest 40-50s. Biggest surprise tho was two Jefferson 60s nickels and one 1911 V nickel. How the hell did I miss those twice and Jeff once?????
Anyways, some type of a button, a small tin container top with a cameo figure on the top, a button of some type (still researching), an odd tool handle, a bent in half token “good for 10 cents” and a small pin that says “England” in the lower corner.
Pics of the wheats and nickel not included (poor quality as well worn), the tin top is and working on the others. F75 running wide open was an eye opener!!!!

Did you have the 12 x 10 on the stick on the previous hunts?....if not , that could be the answer and combined with new settings....2 options why they were missed.

Yes to first time. DE, with 80 sens, 10 disc, 1 notch. 3H tones. Fairly bad EMI at front of house. Second time went with the Sharpshooter at same settings, smaller coil less sensitive to EMI. I believe thats when I dug the Buffalo. Today was wide open in disc mode rather than All Metal Motion. Place is full of low iron bits.
Tomorrow will be attacking backyard in wide open mode so hoping for more oldies. Im noticing in wide open I’m finding more nickels too, but ya get cross eyed watching the numbers on one tone mode.

Good hunt! The F 75 likes to run. Anybody that says they get it all the first time has never hunted behind themselves, or others. Otta be another silver or 2 in there. HH jim tn

With all those wheaties there has to be some more silver hiding in there.
