Sounds like you don't need to change a thing since you've found 2 of them. It's just being in the right place and walking over the top of them. I know the 1 real I found rang up 12-46 12-47. Good Luck!!!

1/2 and 2 Reale came in at 12- 36,37. Just trying to see if anyone has something special. Fir the longest time , i would pass evrything in that range. Those Reales changed that. Gotta alot of spots to revisit, I guess.

Here's the thing. If your at a site that you think has a chance for Reales like a Cellar hole or any old site then you should be digging all the positive signals. I E anything that isn't iron. If you don't then you should be detecting at the local ball field cause your wasting a great chance at great finds.If you hunt with discrim then your going to miss all sorts of great targets. 11/23 piece of junk or really great military button ? Discrim is for the nasty pull tab park. When you do hunt the Park I would still be digging most signals and would be making choices based more on depth and size of the target. Discrim is not your friend when it comes to making finds. Almost all gold except for big honking pieces comes in with the crappy numbers.
Discrim not your friend

I hunt Ferrous Coin
Fast and Deep off
Auto +3 most of the time unless very stable
Pinpoint normal Target Trace
I use Discrim from 01-36 and 47-50 only all other is open screen. I do this to prevent iron chirps from wrap around.
It's a old Etrac thing that I think works and I don't think I miss very much.

Thanks Todd. Very good points and the exact type of response I was shooting for. All good points. You still use depth in plow fields, Im thinking no. I have found silver on the surface from soil turning, as you probably have too . Thanks again! Your an asset to the forum and a gentleman.

 

[CT Todd]

Thanks, nice of you to say. Questionable but nice of you. Yes of course all bets are off in disturbed ground like farm fields they can be anywhere. I think GKMan pick up a surface LC this spring and me last year. The thing to spend time on is research. I'd rather skip three small hunts and research for one great hunt where my chances are great. GKMan and I work on locations all the time. He has his strengths and I have mine and together we do very well because of research. Good luck HH

Yes the only way to hunt those types of sites, listen for everything.

I use a wide open most of the time and the picture is of the second one which has just a tad discrim for nails I use it mostly to check a target. Combined tones, Ferrous Coin, pinpoint sizing.

Yes of course pay no attention to depth on worked fields or even no till fields which are becoming more common in my area. Anything above iron gets dug.

 

[mcb613]

Yeah, I hate no till. Takes away that freshly groomed dirt!

Hello, I have found my fair share of silver Reales in Mexico and I must agree with mcb613 they come in at around 12:36-40. The large copper 1/4 Reales were coming it from 12:42-46.

I have been hunting a farm field (off and on) for the past 20 years. Between 1880 and 1920, it was a fair grounds. Today it rotates between corn and soy beans. The finds I made the first few years were AMAZING! Then came no-till! A couple years back, I told the farmer/owner that I would pay him to plow that field about a foot deep! He knows what I've found in the past as I have shared the finds with him. So when I made that offer, he laughed and said he'd be happy to do that for me....but quickly added that there probably isn't a plow to be found within 50 miles! I hate no-till! HH Randy

 

[GKMan]

Wow.. No kidding! That's crazy that the machinery isn't in the area anymore.

 

[CT Todd]

You just gotta love those Amish

 

[mcb613]

Im close to the Amish capital of the world... Lancaster, Pa. They surely plow still... With real horsepower! God bless them for hanging in! Never have ventured out that way , but is a good thought!

 

[mcb613]

Also, like being closer to the coast! Earlier settlements!

Fewer trips through the field = Less fuel expense, less labor expense and the process helps retain moisture in the soil.

I doubt you see these in Amish country.

I completely Get why the No Till but these farmers need to think about us.

 

[mcb613]

Well, I had some thoughts and kinda troubled about what side I fall on the subject. Carbon Monoxide from the tractor or Methane gas from the horses??? Not a subscriber to the global warming thing, or whatever the current spin is, but I think I'll take the horses anyway !
