Decided to look for "something good" in the old hammered park today. I started by thinking "Ring", so I dug a couple pulltabs, and after digging (I think) the third tab, my rescan picked up a previously masked penny/dime signal at 7 inches, about three inches over from the pulltab hole. I dig the plug, and scan the hole. I love my new Garrett PP! It gave me a precise reading, so I could carefully uncover a silver Mercury dime, that I could see, right where it sat for decades; tail side up, at almost 7 inches deep. Cool! Now I'm thinking "Masked coin" and maybe "Ring". A few feet away, I got a faint, sketchy kind of signal, at 6 inches. My Eagle Spectrum read "Quarter" and also "Penny/Dime". Turned out to be a quarter. 1934 silver GW Quarter! OK, now I'm thinking "detect", and I soon got one of those big coin signals you just know is a can or something. Sure enough, top of an old soda can. But wait. Another signal down there. Under the can top "mask" was a wheat penny. Very few wheats in this park. More silvers than wheats, so that was a surprise. AFter that, kids from school started showing up; staring, so I went to the school they just left, and picked up about 4 and a half bucks in clad, to finish out my day's hunt. No major "WOW's" but a good day, I'll say.
