Well I went to a hunted out park tonite for 1.5 hours. Scott found a gold ring there yesterday and we've pulled some very old coins from there so I said what the heck. I was reading a post about going slow (of course I already know this but it promted me to take my time); thus I was going embarrasingly slow.
I listened for the high tones and/or the deeper ones. I wish I could set my machine to go off only for targets deeper than 6" but I can't that I know of.
I heard things I left behind previously. Interstingly, many of the wheats I dug gave a dime reading at 3 28 but sounded mostly like copper. Sometimes I'd hear a hi pitch and think a silver was possible, but not today. One of the other things I was reminded of in the post was that we loose TID at depth, so I was diggin iffy, deep ones. Actually, this is what I was after. If I heard a deep tone, I'd hone in and circle it to see if I could justify a dig.
After digging 6 deep wheats in the sandy, easy digging soil, I hit a solid quarter signal at 00 27 and deep. Out came this buckle at ~ 8 ". The barber I found in one of the oldest American parks a few weeks ago, and one of the mercs I found last week with Scott.
One of these semi iffy tones at ~ 8" turned out to be this smoking aparatus. The little round piece with the snake and blue stone I thought might be gold, however, no luck.
The other piece might be gold but it bends like wire, so prolly not, although it is a bit heavy.
THe ruler type thingy is a money clip. It must be silver plated as it sounded pretty good and it was deep.
The most interesting dig was this earring. With IM at 25, it nulls. The only thing I could hear was the silver shaft that slips through the ear. I am particularily impressed with my machine for hearing it as the entire piece was sitting between 2 pieces of trash, yet I was convinced there was something good down there. When I waved a handful of dirt in front of the coil, it nulled. Obviously there was a tiny window of opportunity here to find it. but I did.
THe last dig gave me a solid quarter reading and it turned out to be the merc. For the 1st time ever, I lost the signal in the pile with silver in it (I've had this happen with LC's but not silver). I put a handful back in the hole only to have to remove it again as it must have been on edge when I waved it over the coil. I was happy to have found this.....not much silver has come out of here lately. Then I ran out of daylight.

Yep, there ain't no speed limit on going slow. HH.
