new orleans w a Tesoro Lobo SuperTraq

[Herb Jones]

i spent a couple of days hitting an early 1800's park in NOLA. I mostly ran the Tesoro Lobo SuperTraq and the 9x8 concentric, and the Teknetics T2 and 5"
concentric.... found 32 coins total. The deepest was @ 8". i found coins consistently throughout the park, which made me think that it had not been picked clean, but i was surprised when @ the end the oldest coin was from 1967... Going back again to spend some time there with my Vaquero and 5" concentric, and some more time there with the T2/5". to the. best of my knowledge, this park has never been reworked, and it has the original layout from the early 1800's.... i cant help but think there are older / deeper targets there.

Better watch out in NOLA.

Parks & graveyards there have received heavy attention on the years-I've heard stories back to the early 70's.
If you do hit something it may be deep.

yeah i figured they would have been worked,... but i found a lot of coins daying back to the late '60s but nothing prior to then... kinda puzzled by that... i plan on hitting the same area until i clean out the shallow drops, then perhaps something deeper will show... the high water table, and the low elevation of NOLA makes for
interesting digging... fresh coins seem to settle fast here, so i figure anything good would be deeeeeeep.
