"Hunted out" should be removed from the lexicon...

Went back to that "hunted out" park today. Armed with Andy's new CTX handbook and some inside info from Minelabob, I managed to break the clad curse and score a '62 silver quarter and a '49 rosie, along with a handful of clad quarters, dimes, a dog tag, and an enamel pendent. BTW, notice the other essential piece of equipment on the bench photo -- BEER! I'll be back! :cheers:
 
"Hunted out" is for marketing new detectors ... you are correct in saying there is no such thing. But when the latest detector finds coins in declared "hunted out" sites the uninformed assume the new detector is super special. Sales go up. This scam never gets old.
 
Beer- helping guys find silver since the dawn of the hobby
 
Well I don't know. I used to think there was no such thing as "hunted out" but, there is this one place.

About 5 years ago I found the site of an old carnival ground. Not real big but our group pulled many of Indian Heads, V-Nickels, Barbers, Mercs and wheats. We hunted it for only 3 years and we all used DFX's. Since that time we have been back with everything from CTX's, to E-Trac, to Racers, to Deus's to F75's and not one single coin has been found. Not a single keeper period. Most of the coins found with our DFX's were in the 6" range so you would have thought we'd at least have missed a few. This site completely ruins the "no place is ever worked out" statement. It is the only site though.
 
Nicely done
 
While "hunted out" may be a misnomer, "reaching the point of diminishing returns" is not. Realistically, how many hours are you willing to expend on a thoroughly hunted park to find one 1958D wheat penny?

Lensman, congrats on the two silver finds - silver always keeps me going back to that same hunted out park.
 
I like to call them pounded ground , you can hunt them for a couple hours and find nothing at all come back a month later and bang a couple silvers in a few minutes then search for a few more hours and nothing that's just the way it goes . So I'm sticking with pounded ground . sube
