I had 3-hour's to hunt after work before sundown. Finding the Old coins where I'm hunting always
seems to start around the 3-hour mark...Well today was no exception! I managed the old Crusty
Indian Head Penny first at almost 8" down, I was using the pro coil today! All the easy targets are
almost all gone and I was trying everything to help get something good before the sun went down.
It seems at this point the Indians and Lady Liberty are hanging around that no good Iron dude! Man
I tried TTF with and open screen but it was costing me time that I didn't have going back and forth between TTF
and MCT to check for the hight tone. Next I tried Multi Conductive, discriminating 31 on down but that was costing
me time as well, as I had to really slow down in the iron or risk the chance of missing a Silver. I had about 30 minutes of
light left so I thought I would try something new. I left the Etrac in Multi Tone Conductive and Open
up the screen and listen for the high tone and visually check each one and left the Harsh loud Iron
tones in the ground and kept going......The sun was almost down when I got a Nice but somewhat
broken high tone in the midst of close iron.. I managed to get the target pinpointed down and did the
Wiggle and the display was bouncing around but had some good numbers and the depth was Below
the 8" mark... I dug a deep plug to save some time and was down there past the 8" mark directly.
I turned on the X-1 to check out the hole, Nothing! Then started to check the dirt...Guess what! Nothing!
I was getting a little anxious as the sun was almost gone and nothing..I turned off the X-1 got the pro coil over the
Dirt pile and nothing!...Back over the hole and "Bingo" Hight tone! Turns out the target was laying on top of the
ground beside the hole in a little clod of dirt...I broke the dirt off and saw the backside of a silver dime...I thought
Barber! Turned it around and brushed a little dirt off and I was just able to see Lady Liberty in a seated position.
Talk about the "Last Minute" More like the last few seconds and the sun was gone! Made My day!..Here's the
Kicker! Got home and cleaned it up to check out the date...Guess what! the same date as the seated dime I dug a few days
back, but better condition...
