Finds are Since My Last Post On November 10th. All finds were 100% Etrac And all Public Sites. All of the Barber and Seated coins were pulled from the Dakotas at different sites. I detected on the weekends and I hit er hard over Thanksgiving long weekend as we had exceptionally
nice weather. The ground is still soft which is very uncommon this time of year up here.
Elmy From The Minelab E-TRAC forum worked with me a little and I tweaked one aspect of my settings which I feel helped me hit some good targets next to iron harder (especially the high conductors) and caused me to pull a few more oldies. Thanks Elmy. Appreciate it!
The 1856 Dime was a very deep/crappy sounding signal about 10+ inches deep but I got it to repeat. I pulled 2 large nails out of the same hole. It was pulled out of a very old city park in a larger city. The Coins was minted about 25 years before the town was founded but there was
military history before that.
I also pulled the 1912 Canadian Large Cent and a few silver and old nickels plus that Royal Victorian British Order Cross at that same park.
A couple relics that where a first for me is that Old Mack Truck Ignition Key and That Ox Knob (or Horn ball as it is sometimes called that is screwed on the end of Oxen horns to keep the Oxen from hurting each other or someone).
Hopefully winter stays away for a while.
Thanks for looking!
