Hello folks
I hope everyone is okay out there. I am not much of a park Hunter preferring to spend most of my time in the woods and fields. But I have been detecting some parks lately with the Minelab Equinox 800 to help me learn how it operates.
You know the spiel. A park that has been hit a thousand times over the past 45 years. So it's tough to find many/any good signals to dig. It's a site that for the most part makes you reevaluate what is and isn't a good signal compared to other locations.
Anyhow I made it out yesterday, it was 39 degrees, breezy and cloudy. So not the most pleasant of hunting conditions but I've done a lot worse. I had detected for an hour or so and hadn't found much except for a couple pieces of clad, and then got a poor signal with a little squeak at the end. Figuring it was probably a piece of iron I decided to dig it anyhow since it didn't sound just like the rest of the stuff I had been coming across. Popped the plug and out came a square nail or at least a piece of iron. Covered it back up and swung the coil back over it and heard a much clearer signal. Popped the plug back out and there was piece of holed Spanish silver.
That made the day, things were quiet again until I got a good clear signal that ended being the Barber dime.
I may have to detect this place a bit more...
