"New" Old Lot...

I had some business to attend to in a nearby town. That's always an opportunity to swing the coil over "New Ground". Well, I drove around in the older area looking for a lot that may be productive. I spotted a lot that I had hunted a few years ago with moderate success (a few wheat-cents and some silver). This lot had recently been scraped of at least 2 inches of overgrowth and trash. That's my kind of site! I put the 5.3 coil on my V3i and it wasn't too long before I started finding coins. That day I ended up with 2 mercs and 9 wheat-cents. It's a good size lot so I went back 2 days ago and dug some neat old marbles, some wheat-cents and a silver Roosevelt. I'll get back there next week - there HAS to be more! Best of luck and...

Happy Hunting!

Thanks wasp. I DO intend to go back there this week. On the marbles: I got signals between 69 and 75. I dug all of them in the same holes with wheat cents. One time, about 14 years ago, I dug a wheat cent and along the side and at the bottom of the hole I noticed marbles. I picked out 40 old Akro Agates in that hole. When I learned that some of them had $ value, I went back with a sifter and recovered another 108 period marbles in addition to a few coins, rings and military buttons that were beyond the reach of my DFX. Best of luck and...

Thanks johnedoe. I'll keep going back there with different coils and settings until I'm convinced that it is a waste of gas to go over there hahah. Best of luck and...
