this weeks good stuff

[ken-ks]

I hunted a few hours at the local park this week after work, came up with 1 of the merc dimes and the rosey dime there. Saturday hunted a lot that they'd torn the house down at, most of the lot they'd covered with big rocks, getting ready to pave it, most of the stuff in the pic came from there. Today I finished up on a house that'd I'd detected with the stock coil on the etrac, went back over it with the 8x6 sef coil, found a merc, 2 wheaties, and the "good for 10 cent" token there. The big token is a $5 good for token, I'm betting 5 bucks was a lot of money back in the token days. Thanks for looking. Ken-ks

This might be a total newbie question, what did the dimes ring at?

Very nice finds!

They all hit at CO46, one of them had a FE number of 22, which is pretty low, but for me, I run with iron blancked out up to FE24, and any thing that hits above that with a good CO number that is repeatable I dig. Most of the wheaties I dig come in from FE12 CO41 all the way down to FE24CO25. Most don't come close to the FE12 line. But if you dig a bunch of wheaties at the same site and clean them, they all clean up differently, I'm thinking that they are not all made out of the same stuff, different copper or something is why you get so different of a reading on them. They say and it runs true for me, don't be hung up on the FE numbers, go by sound, and then by the CO numbers, and if its repeatable in two different directions, dig it! Hope this helps. Ken-ks

Hey Ken,

How productive was it repeating the hunt with the smaller coil? Does it make much of a difference in the number of finds? How much depth are you getting with the 6x8? Thanks
