So I go back in there today doing more gold research, GB showed a 48...which is weird, since most areas around here have given me a 78?, (at least when I take the time to check)...so I go hot!, 70 sens!, -2thresh!..
Got to thinking about this place, I have not found one silver ring out of here, even though its used heavy and sort of oldish, at a similar newer field not 2 miles away I've gotten 6?
...I really took my time and moved pretty slow, concentrating on a constant coil speed/height, nice smooth wide swing, and overlapping the sweeps..up and back across the field, diagonally too, thinking about how well I know this dirt here and where all the action is... I get a strange signal, not a penny, but not a dime either..turned out to be this small box chain (925) with a junk medallion on it, took me a while to get it out of the roots without breaking it....got a Sac dollar, another mixed tight spill with a Q, P, N...got a lone rat token that are always a solid 67 and unmistakeable signal..Oh, got a 46d wheat too..
.
A few things that may be of some value...its hard to stab clad with the 'higher' sens, the signal is just too broad, not impossible, just takes a few more pokes than normal..especially the surface to 3" targets...anyway, this was a fun and out of the normal way of hunting for me...I believe theres gotta be a gold ring or chain in here, the absence of silver and even junk rings is a puzzle, but I'll think about why that could be later...lots of foil I can work on, its close enough to the house to be a good practice area, and has portapotties..
Mud.
