I spent a few hours at “merc city” detecting one trail I’ve hit several times in the past. The soil at this trail is very mineralized, and is strewn with rusty nails, so it has been hard to reach anything beyond eight inches. This time I worked the area very slowly, using the 3 kHz frequency program after making a few adjustments, and was able to pick up several silver pieces and wheaties. The tones were erratic though. The wheaties are in poor shape too, but I’ll take them.
I also picked a small Fraternal Order of Eagles and Girl Scouts pin. All the targets were between 7 and 8 inches deep. Aside from the coins, I dug up a few rusty square nails and was fooled by a few small pieces of old wadded foil. The signals somewhat resembled deeply buried silver dimes.
