Sunday Finds

[Docsoo]

Since my golf season (my first passion) is winding down I'm getting out for some hunting. I actually prefer detecting from late September until the ground freezes since there are less people around, less annoying insects and the ground is generally more saturated with moisture and easier to dig in. I went to one of our Pittsburgh City parks which is located on the north side of the city. The area, in the 18th century and part of the 19th century was know as Allegheny City before it became part of the City of Pittsburgh. The area was first inhabited by white people during the mid 1700's. Beyond Allegheny City were hostile Indians. Anyway in about a 2 1/2 hour hunt I found the 1897 and 1902 Barber dimes and the 1928 and 1941 Mercs. My last find was a 1914 Lincoln (no D this time). And also in the spirit of a city park I found a 9mm shell casing. Made we wonder if the bullet met it's mark. The dimes were all at around six inches down and I was hunting with the 10X12 SEF coil on the EX II. I could hunt this park at three hour clips once a week until the end of the year and still not cover more than about half of the park. It is huge!

docsoo,great going there--should be a gold coin there--would you post and tell us your thoughts on the 10 x 12.that might be my next coil if i hear good results-lol

Super job of finding the silver coins. I know of 2 or 3 other people using that coil and they say it is great. I have the pro coil but I hunt with other guys and one uses that coil. Hopefully we will get the chance to test them over some deep signals...although it peobably wont be me who locates a deep one...lol

Nice finds Docsoo. That is a great 2 1/2 hour hunt...in fact that would be a great all day hunt for me. I'd have to agree with you...the 10 x 12 coil is pretty darn good. Hope you find some more silver on your next outing and continue the nice finds.
