Another great hunt today with Jim-IN! Jim just bought him a new E-trac so i was pretty excited to get out with him so i could see what that machine could do!! and that baby will go deep!! As usual it seemed like i walked around for a good 45 minutes before i even dug a coin... The first good hit i had kinda threw me off... It was to good of a hit for this park.. Only about 8 inches deep i got a great high tone that stayed up in the dime range.. I dug down and got close with the probe and popped out a hunk of asphalt??? Hmm Thought maybe it was a hunk of iron stuck in it giving me a good tone... Then i noticed a coin sticking out the side of the clump.... Holy crap!!!! And it was a silver coin lol... Definitely a first for me!! I have never found a coin stuck in a hunk of asphalt ever!!! After i broke it out,, It ended up being a 1947 D rosy!!!
I Walked around for a while more and finally popped out a deep wheatie! Jim and i was just talking about maybe going somewhere else when i came across a DEEEEEEPPPPPPPP signal!! One if those that don't really even register on the detector you can just tell that there is something down there!!! I made the mistake of letting Jim come over and listen to it as well!!! I have been trying to explain that signal to him for weeks and finally came up with a good signal to show!! I Opened up the hole and dug down,,, and dug some more.. and some more!! I swear,, you can ask Jim.. I got down to 11-12 inches and popped out an indian!!! I passed it over to Jim and put my probe back in the hole, It went off again!!! I pulled another Indian! I couldn't really believe it! I dont ever really recall digging to injuns out of one hole... After telling him that i check the hole again and still had a signal!! Then i pulled ANOTHER Indian out of there!!! I really couldn't believe it!!! We wished we had a camera! I cover the hole back up,,, I did another sweep and the unbelievable happened! There was still another coin down in the plug!!! I opened it back up and popped one more out!! I really was in disbelieve!! 4 indian head penny's out of one hole!!!
I said i made the mistake of showing Jim the signal because he and that darn E-trac started pulling and finding those deep injun's right after that!!!! I swear almost ever coin we dug today was anywhere from 10-12 inches deep!! And non of them were great signal's!!! nothing jumped out at you, all you could tell was that there was something down there with a warble to it!! The high light of my day was when i came around a old tree and got another one of those deep signals.... I would have never guessed it was what it was... It was giving a low tone high tone and wouldn't even register on the screen!!! I dug down and pulled out a 1914 Barber quarter!!! But soon after Jim had to rain on my parade with a 1905 Barber Quarter uke:
The day was beautiful and i had a blast out hunting!!! I ended up with 5 wheat's 1919,18,19,19s plus a 40s.. 5 Indians 1885, 1905, 1890, 1882, and a 1891... a 1936 buffalo.. a 1945P War Nickel... A crusty 1947D Roosevelt dime,,, that the best of all... A 1914 Barber Quarter!!!!!
Thanks for looking everyone!!! And thanks again Jim for inviting me to one of your hot spots!!!
