Howdy everyone.
I'd been in contact recently with another detectorist and had come to learn he had lived in Nebraska at one time. When I disclosed to him the area I lived in, he informed me that he had detected our county fairgrounds. Said he'd found some barbers there. So today after church I grabbed a friend of mine that doesn't own a detector and took him there. Not expecting to find much because all I ever hear about this area is how many people have worked this area where the carnival's used to be during fair. Well this is what I have to say. The place has been worked (I've had more than one person tell me they've seen people detecting there), and I'm sure a lot of people have found silver, wheats and IH's there. I only found 2 clad dimes, but what amazed me, is I feel I really put the machine to the test for hunting in a worked out area.
Was there about 2-3 hours. I let my friend detect for about 1/2 that time. First good deep signal turned out to be the barber dime. I was blown away, 7" down in hard packed ground, sensitivity in Auto +3 (when I looked at it, it was hovering around 18, so suggested was 15...20 yds away from 2 sets of RR tracks). After I retreived the dime, I swung over to check the hole and completely nulled out (using Andy's Coin program).
We found a 2 wheat cent hole about 6" down, I dug a deep beer bottle lid, then hit another good signal. 6" and my first Silver Washington (I've got barbers and 1 SLQ). Again, after retreiving the target, re-swiped the hole and another complete null. My friend got wheat at 7", on a typical good signal.
All in all it was a good time seeing the E-Trac doing what it was designed to do. I ran conduct. sounds, mulit tones, var. 29, limits 30, deep=off, fast=off, high trash, ground=neutral (the senst. would fluxuate, but mostly hit hung around 25 or so). I really feel like this was the first time I really opened it up and let it talk to me. I let my friend have the wheats (2- 1919's and 1- 1936)
Sorry no video of this, but I feel comfortable that this will be a good place to do some taping at...just a lot of train noise!!!!
So I want to thank him for at least leaving me some silver...I appreciate it!!!
Enjoy your hunting!!!
