Nice little find

Hi all,
Recently out I found a small piece of silver colored chain. Having read some of your forum postings, I thought I should check the area once more before moving on. A second signal and a longer piece of chain and a pendant in the shape of a bar.
Once home I cleaned the chain and pendant. Under the magnifying lamp I read on the bar "Tiffany and Co, copyright 2001- 925, and on the chain clasp T and Co - 925.
So a nice silver chain and silver bar pendant from Tiffany and Co.
 
Nice work finding the silver, Pengeboy. Sounds nice.
 
Hello all,

Thank you for all the tips in the past.
However, I must lean on your knowledge once more.
I am working a city park circa - 1880's. I know many have worked this area before, but also I realize there is often still a lot to find.
I have found some clad, mostly at shallow depths (4,5-inches).
I know my coin signals fairly well for clad, but

1. Any advice for deeper searching?
2. What kind of range do you see Indian hands, wheat pennies, silver coins etc...

I'm surprised how many 30+ signals I get and then dig up bottle caps/screw tops.

Thanks again
 
Nice find.
This summer I found a 512 Tiffany heart shaped earring and it said “please return to”;Tiffany of New York. It had the stop on it so it was not being worn when it was lost. Every time I’m near that ares I keep checking to see if I can find the matching earring.

Tiffany is cool.,

Nice find well how is your detector set up stock park 1 2? I use field 2 a lot and lower the recovery speed down to 4 if its not that trash filled.
iron bias at 0 Iron bias 2 if you have the newest update? I keep at 2 The sensitivity as high as I can go and I use all metal mode no discrimination.
I go very slow and keep my coil to the ground oh and noise cancel to works well for me.

Great advice Mark, everyone says there is gain on this machine but I disagree your deeper targets are usually quieter shorter signals. The problem I have at most parks & town squares etc.. is with the amount of construction that has occurred you have to look for undisturbed soil to pull deeper targets. JMO

Indian's can come in at 18,19, 20 just like a zinc penny.

Sucks, but if you know your area is old enough to have them it's worth it to dig those numbers.
 
Hi all,

Thankyou for the advice. I will try those settings Mark suggested. I'll keep you all informed.
At some point I'll figure how to upload some pictures.

Pengeboy.

You mean like this??? I’m always looking for dug up areas in a city and I find silver all the time when they dig!
Here’s a 2 “ 1775 silver video.
