Just frustrated OK. If your pretty sure a hoard will give a high tone, then that would help a lot, thanks again
I am by no means an expert and have never found a gold cache before.I just go by what works for me.Put a good 100 hours into that CZ or any detector for that matter and you will be come one with it.I just dug out a 46 rosie out of my back yard today surrounded by nails with my CZ6a.It was bouncing all over the place with all the nails around it,yet it gave just enough repeatable high tone to dig it.That is my 28th silver out of my yard over the course of 2 summers.I have literally pounded my yard with almost every detector you can think of and they all found coins.I feel 2 big parts of this hobby is patience and persistence.More than 200 coins have come out my yard so far including 1 standing liberty quarter,3 washington,1 seated dime 3 barber dimes 11 mercs,6 rosies (including the 46 today) 3 silver war nickels,13 indians more than 35 wheaties,2 rings and a beer cup full of clad.The more time you can put into one site the more will come out of the ground.Its amazing what you can and will find when you slow down and take your time.I know their is still more to be found in my yard.I think the remaining coins and such are heavily masked by iron and the like.Dont be so quick in just having the mind set to finding a hoard of gold coins,we all want that.It could lead you to losing interest in the hobby.The good finds will come thats for sure.Just go out and enjoy the hobby for what it is and have fun.Thats what its all about,at least for me anyway.
