My standing late 1800's to early 1900's permission just had its territory expanded when I requested to hunt more of the property. I have another 1.5 acres to search! My biggest interest has been this grove of trees:
I grabbed the ACE 400 and did some preliminary swinging, mainly in Coins mode, but I also branched out and ran Custom 40+ nearly full sensitivity. I spent about 1.5 hours in there. I hit a couple clad coin spills, including 30 pennies within a 5ft radius of one another. Nearby was another small spill, with 2 quarters, 1 dime and 1 nickel. Unfortunately, all of it was clad ($0.99 worth).
Then I got some weird "82" hits under 3 different trees, which typically isn't a coin (on my 400 pennies show up as 84's at first usually, then 78's when they get shallow-er). So I wasn't too excited about an 82 because they are often pieces of old can tops or bottoms. In this case, however, the 3 solid 82 hits turned out to be fully intact Vintage (1920's era) Pond's Vanishing Cream bottles. Apparently people collect these things. On Etsy they go for around $10, so that's cool. Is it just me, or does anyone else find it strange that someone was strategically burying these things under trees? Any thoughts on that? Based on weight, I believe each of these still has product inside it.
Not much else worth mentioning although I did get a working Bic lighter.
Surely there are old coins in this place! I'm looking forward to hitting it again. HH all!
