Never ceases to amaze me

This detecting addiction never ceases to amaze me.I found my second V nickel about 20 feet from where I found the first.I know Ive been over the general area pretty thoroughly.I'm guessing coming at the target from a different angle made the difference.Theres a lot of metal in the ground (you can tell by the threshold constantly blanking out or just hitting pinpoint around the area) and Im guessing I was missing the target from other metal in the ground.
 
It is amazing. There is a park near me that occasionaly I hear of people pulling out gold coins from. (I've put serious time into it since I'd heard of it and still have even to pull so much as a wheat!) Then again, I pulled out a 1876 dime from a park across the street from my house! (I've hunted that with a PI and every other machine I've owned for years and it is getting close to not producing anything but..........still going to get attention from me!) Nice satisfying find there BH! Something about those V nickels!
 
V-nickle is one of my favorite coins. For whatever reason I've only found a few in my 10+ years detecting.

As far as places being hunted out, I've always thought of it like this. The search field produced by our loops is shaped like a cone, by the time it gets down the the deeper stuff we're after much of the time it's not much bigger than about an inch. Imagine taking a 1" wide crayon and completely coloring the entire park. Now do it in 2 or more directions. Now imagine the color you are using - is invisible so you can't see what you've completed and what you haven't. You'd never finish - even with help.

Perfect analogy!
 
Thanks Pat. When I go up this weekend Im going to have to take some time just using pinpoint to get rid of some of the shallow junk targets I think. Im sure Im missing good targets being masked by shallow junk.
