Have been taking advantage of the soft ground and getting to areas of a couple of parks with easier digging! Have also been using Reactivity 1 and also Reactivity 2.5 depending on the "trash quotient" - sometimes it's a rewarding venture but I felt obligated to show the mountain of junk targets dug in order to get the coins I did!
I went to an area that has given up a lot of Barber dimes in the past, and set Reactivity 1 and Silencer 2, using 4kHz. Not long into the hunt I had a faint but repeatable blip...got down to the 9" level to see a crisp 1900 Barber dime, and just a couple inches away, and shallower, was a wadded-up ball of foil. Concentrated in a 10-ft square in this area and also pulled a deep 1910 Wheat after a while. Went on to get a few more Wheats from a different area that were mixed in with aluminum, using 00-50 Notch which takes care of much of the junk - funny thing too, is that deep nickels will indicate higher than a 50 VDI in 4khz, but shallow nickels only read 34-38 VDI
The next hunt, Thursday; I would get my coil over a clay-laden patch of soil that didn't give up its coins without a considerable fight! Found the 1909 S Wheat in about 8" of this clay soil, and closeby were a couple of beavertails that flanked this coin, hiding it from others....
Two feet from this a 9" deep Indian would breathe fresh air in over 100 years of being buried, and then just a little later a nice 1902 O Barber dime from the same depth came up....this place just keeps on giving!
Getting out tomorrow with the MI-6 pinpointer, I'm looking forward to this pinpointer drastically cutting down recovery time, since many signals I dig end up being very shallow foil....time will tell!
