My 12th trip to the old playground and its still producing...

[JimmyCT]

On this trip, I adjusted my scanning angle to about 30 degrees from the edge of the playground. Coins are severely masked and only one dime gave me a decent idea that it was one. The others were a crap shoot where I heard more iron then anything else. However I did hear a blip of a high tone in the mix and this stopped me in my tracks. I had an inkling they may be coins masked. Using the Equinox and utilizing 50 tones, I could hear a blip of a high tone in the ferrous mix. TID was all over the place and useless. -7, -5 -2 then it would jump to 17 then back down to negative numbers but then it would shoot up to 21, 22 then back down to negative numbers etc. If you don't change your settings, change the angle at which you hit the land. It can make all the difference. Found 22 wheaties the earliest being 1910. To date, I have found 43 silver dimes and 1 silver quarter at this location.

Nice job Jimmy! Still using the the same machine and settings?

Deep and masked coins you have to really listen for that slight high tone to get them.
Changing angles like you did opens up a whole new world, way to keep that play ground hopping.

You have got that Equinox down Jim and are doing incredibly well at this site!!!
I am highly impressed with all the coins you are finding around that old playground!!

Thank you Ted. Yes, Equinox 800 with my favorite settings.

Thank you SL52. It’s amazing what a slight change in angle can do for a site.

Thank you Felix! Just imagine if they were all quarters

On this outing did you dig any nails or iron that were giving a similar type of reading, but ended up being false highs.

Killer hunt..

Nice coins and some great hunting. It amazes me how frequently one of those squeaks ends up being a coin or something else good. The Nox is a killer on coins on edge, too. HH jim tn

I did. I dug more than normal. Reason being, with the amount of masked coins, I wasn’t leaving anything behind

Great haul there!

Nice coins and pics. It is always fun returning to a spot that has that many old coins pulled from it.

CONGRATS bro. you are tearing that place up and the knowledge you have using that detector is amazing. Keep at it till you think you hunted the place out.

Thank you. Every time I think that I find more lol

NICE!

I 100% agree on a an angle change!!!!! Exactly how I hit that old V nickel I got after hitting my park several times and getting old coins. My problem is still trying to differentiate iron nails from quarters right now. Clear hits at one angle but not others, gotta dig tho……..

Unfortunately if we want to find those hidden coins that others have missed, digging some iron is necessary. Come to find out there was much iron and a silver coin just peeping through saying “dig me”

What speed are you at? I find that the good signals stand out at the higher speeds better, but of course you lose some depth.

I'm hoping the Manticore is a quantum leap in target separation. I believe the ability to determine the target is good in a crowded scan with iron etc. is the key to hunted sites. More that the depth. I work a field where there is 3-8 blips on each swing from all the iron. being able to get those masked targets is key
