I was able to get out for a little while untill my knee gave out again, This is why I havent been posting much in finds as I have a bad knee that it makes it hard to get up and down this year.
I decided to try the GT at a boulavard I have been over the last 3 years with several different detectors, my XS2, the Elite, the MXT, the Explorer XS II and even the Shadow X5 and I have got coins with each one of them. My total count is 147 coins now and i know it had been gone over before by a few too before I went over it. Out of the 147 there has been 25 of them have been keepers. 2 Barber dimes now, one merc, 2 buffalo nickles, a War nickle and 19 wheaties with one a 1924 D and a 1909 VDB.
This area is about 50 feet long one way and 100 feet long the other as the house is on a corner lot. The width is around 8 feet wide.If i got futher north on the next lot all I ever got as a couple of new pennies as I think the corner lot is the only one not filled.
Not really expecting to find anything today, but I was going by it wondering where to try and decide why not and see if my Explorer missed anything along the sidewalk where I worked it last summer slow and easy. The first signal with the GT was one of those that I got the first hint of a good signal and doing the Sovereign wiggle was able to get it to sound sweet and get a 179-180 on my meter. Doing my 90 degress pinpoint so I had the target centered, the swith back to the disc mode to check it out I almost didnt dig as it would null a little before I could get a positive signal, so I went around it with the tip of the coil and could get a signal all the way around it. I dug it and with the help on my S1 probe I got this 1912 barber dime.After i got the dime out of the hole the area justed nulled of iron.For the next half hour I got 7 more new zinc pennies. The GT has surprised me again at a site I worked with the Explorer and thought I had it all.
