Thursday at an old park

[doc1964]

Had some time Thursday afternoon so I ran out to a park that I've found old stuff at in the past. Detected slowly, listened for deeper targets. Ended up with 15 wheaties, 2 Indians (1902 and ????), a '35 Merc, a 1914 Barber and a sterling "I'm a Catholic" medallion. Most of the coins were 7-8 inches deep. I have been hunting in combined mode then switch over to "e-Trac" mode to double check the good targets, gives me a different perspective. I also find that this solves the problem that I've noticed of old, rusty bottle caps hitting like deep nickels- as soon as you switch over to conductive (high trash) their true identity is revealed.

So, you hunt in ferous-coin and combined tones then switch to high-trash and 50 conductive tones for confirmation, doc?

Great finds Doc I have notice in combine if you sweep a little faster most cap well start to chatter.

Great finds looks like you have a good spot to hunt.

Indeed - I like the ability to pop over to a different mode just to give me some different information . I find that low conductors - foil, old rusty caps, come in much higher in ferrous-coin/combined (for example, 10-13) - when I switch over to the other mode the numbers drop way down to trashy numbers (like 08-03 or something like that). High conductors like silver or wheats are much closer to correct, just 1 or 2 numbers lower when in ferrous-coin.

That's the first I've heard of that. I guess we'll all be doing some testing this weekend. Thanks, doc.

Great finds. Better ease up on those finds Doc or there won't be any for anyone else!

Nice finds and great depth Doc. I like your bottle cap check as well! I found that running disc broke them up also. Luckily I don't come across many of them but will remember what you said.

I think that would be considered a good hunt in anyones book Doc...

Doc, when you are in combined mode are you in ferrous-coin and when in 50 tones are you in ground-coin?
thanks

In combined I run ferrous-coin, when in 50 tones I'm running high-trash.

I just uploaded both these modes in the classroom forum:
