Today's hunt on "iron hill.":garrett:

[jim tn]

Before that Fed X guys drops off another A T Pro upon this area, I headed out this morning and went directly to what some of us have dubbed "iron hill." Not a big area, but loaded with iron. Before I got to the hill, however, when working my way across the fields I managed to snag 2 wheat cents, a 36 Mercury dime and a 3 clad quarter coin spill, among a few other pieces of clad and Memorial cents.

I worked iron hill for about 3 hours just inching my way along and listening for those fainter mixed tones. As a result, I managed several period bullets and lead, a nice Eagle button that my photo shot doesn't do justice to, 1 more wheat, a 1896 I H cent, and 2 pieces of junk jewelry and a couple pieces of clad and cents.

We had a good soaking rain last night and targets just seemed to be lighting up. Three of us that I know of have worked that area pretty hard and I suspect there still a few goodies being masked there. Everyone hunt good this weekend. HH jim tn

There you go doing it again Jim. That area has given up really good stuff. You have to listen through the iron.

What settings were you using?

Hey Gerald, if your A T gets delivered and you want to compare some targets tomorrow morning, shoot me one and we'll hook up.

I was in pro zero, 0 disc, sen 8 and iron audio off, most of the time. Tough to get a good G B up on that spot, but a little off to the side over clean ground got a 85 G B and left it at that. HH jim tn

Jim that sounds like a good ideal. I've been out in the yard doing some testing with my new AT Pro. So far, I like the 5 x 8 inch coil better than the stock coil. I can't really tell all that much difference in a depth. The stock coil may be a tad deeper, but the 5 x 8 coil is way more fun to use. Anyway, that's what I'll be swinging.

That's some nice old lead & you always manage some older coins. Tabman's fortunate to have such a knowledgeable friend to do a little target comparison with.
