Spent a few hours hunting a local park

[Bugalooob]

Its a very large 1800's park in Rochester, NY...I picked a section and pretty much dug every solid signal , once I got solid repeatable ferrous and conduct numbers, I recorded them before digging..heres my list

13-23 pull tab, intact and strait
13-11 little piece of crap metal about size of pencil eraser(looks like steel)
15-14 little piece of crap metal about size of pencil eraser
13-12 1983 Jefferson Nickel
13-12 pull tab with pull part missing ("O" this part)
13-04 a piece of tinfoil that was thick from someone folding it a number of times into a square, about 1/2 inch wide
16-12 Folded over pull tab, the tab was folded over the pull
1-09 intact rusted screw on bottle cap (not crushed)
12-15 Pull tab (twisted like a cork screw)
12-47 1970 washington quarter
13-44 1976 Eisenhower dime
13-34 Crushed screw on bottle cap
14-20 Pull tab with tab part missing "((((((((((((" this part
12-44 A caffein free crushed coke can at 13 inches

The last item I dug told me I was in a filled section of the park, depth reading was 3 inches ..I dug to 6 inches and it was still reading in the hole..got out the trench shovel and that took care of the problem

The first several days I used mine I did the same thing and put it in a small notebook I carry most of the time.After about 40 hours I forgot the notebook and a lot of what was in it and used my ears and the depth guage more than the numbers.I still wach the numbers close on nickel like sounds though.

After a few deep silver coins you will have no problem IDing silver with your ears on the first pass over it with the coil 90% plus of the time.After the first 20 or so deep Indians you start to develope an ear for them as well.Sounds like you just need to find a good old site with less fill and you will be posting some old goodies.Good Luck,Ray.
