Well Let me start it this way Good news and more Good news and the bad news I so tired I can't type.
I've been playing with Google maps and found this old football field, not far from my house, I didn't know it was there, it was kinda hid behind some buildings come to find out it was a old high school.
I will have to check out the dates on it but I sure it around 1900 or so.
So thats where I started today on the south end I walk under the old gold post to about the 5 yard line turned left and hunted the on the 5 yard line, Now remember I started under the goal post that would only be half the field down the 5 yard line.
By the time I got to the side line I was so dam tired I couldn't hunt any more , not from walking but sitting on my butt and digging holes and walking around on my knees I have found a virgin site no doubt in my mind.
The first hole I hit a rusted old bottle cap about 3 inches down, I wasn't disappointed at all, to find something old as it was I know I was on to something. Next few targets were pennies but that double D coil was wiping my butt
I couldn't pin point it to save my life I was missing targets by 12 inches I finely got a little better pin pointing with the toe but it wasn't good, by the time I dug my 12th hole I was already tired. Now by this time I had to find some better way to pinpoint and I did. The problem was the bar graph peg out on shallow targets so you really couldn't find the center, so I started to raise the coil up off the ground this would cause the graph to lower a few bars so you could find the center if the coil over the target, Now I was on to something
The next few targets I hit within 4" of the target and Was feeling a little better, I can see a Garrett Pin pointer would come in handy with a double D coil.
Next few targets were a more pennies a dime and a quarter and then a Nickel OMG that Ace 350 Locked dead on 5 cents no jumping around at all and no pull tabs I got three more nickels today the most I have ever found in one 3 hour hunt.
More good news I'm exhausted and I'm with in 10ft. of the side line and ready to call it for the day and that SWEEEET Bell tone on the ACE 350 goes off again It says 50 cent $1.00, Im thinking what trash is this showing 8" down and I was so tired I almost didn't dig it, SURE GLAD I DID about 7 inches down I could see something silver a being careful now I pop it out of the hole and the pictures are below
