That being a first silver from the 1895 home.
I spent all of my fishin time at the 1895 permission this week, and finished my 3rd grid on the front yard. Im pleasantly surprised that its still producing. No one lives there, so I can come and go as I please. The yard is LOADED with coins...mostly modern clad. If I didnt know any better, Id say that someone took handfuls of zincolns, and tossed them in the yard. Ive probably pulled over 200 coins from this place, unfortunately most have been pennies.
This property is also loaded with nails, screws, nuts, and bolts, and enough of each to start a hardware store. I have also found around 6 modern toy cars, mostly hot-wheel types, but there are also a couple of mini ones.
If I were to dig every signal there, the ground would look horrible since it doesnt cut a plug well, so I mostly concentrate on high and low tones. Ive cleared out a lot of stuff on my first two grids, but there are still many signals. I think a smaller coil would definitely be key here. Thought about taking my 705 over there with the 5X10 coil to see how it fares.
The buff (19??), IH, wheat, and square nails were DEEP. Id say a good 7 to 9" down. The 1943S war nickle was about 4", and the rest were surface to 3" down. Interesting is the the half was found on my 2nd grid. How I missed it on my first is beyond me.
The entire yard is probably a little larger than a 1/8 acre, and took me almost 4 hours just to do a 3rd grid on the front alone. Park 2 is a good setting, and I take my time. It has sniffed out the goodies, but has also led me on a few wild goose chases too. Overall its been a good lesson on knowing the machine better. I need to read other folks techniques so I can tweak the 800 into a coin and relic killer.
Thanks for looking, and HH!
