I hope you guys don't mind me putting this in eye popping section. To me it's VERY eye popping and a huge first for me.
I went back to the same park from yesterday here in Indiana. I found a few wheats and a merc so I knew there was good potential. This park was built in the 20s I think. I put together a video for your viewing pleasure. It's really worth watching. Full of surprises and what not.
I drove by a spot that I hadn't hit before and thought it'd be a good idea to scope it out. I parked my car and got my beeper and other equipment ready. I crossed the little bridge that goes over a creek and started to swing. My first good hit was a 15-40 and turned out to be an extremely green crusty wheat. I've never seen such a crusty green one before. It was so encrusted that when I rubbed it a thick green chalk like powder got on my fingers.
A few wheats later, I was swinging near the tree line when a sharp 11-46 thumped in my ear. It sounded good enough - I checked it in TTF and the high tone was locking in good enough to say, "Dig me!". So I cut a 7 inch deep plug and scanned the bottom of the hole with my pinpointer. I got a sharp buzz and moved the dirt around with my hand instead of my lesche in case it was something good....Here's what I saw in the bottom of the hole.
Oooh..a shiny rim! What could it be? A silver quarter perhaps? Dreams of a nice Washington filled my head and I reached in to see what it was.
OMG! A standing!!! In really good shape! WOW.
The hole wasn't finished with me yet....I went to clean off the standing and left the E-trac behind. When I returned, I went back in the hole with the pro pointer and got a solid buzz! :-O
What? This can't be a coin spill.....You can see the whole thing on video. This was in the exact same spot as the SLQ!
Home run!!!! A happy dance ensued along with a "woo hoo".
I couldn't focus much on the task at hand. I did one more probe in the hole and I found what made the rust spots on the coins. The piece of iron that was on top of them. I LOVE my E-trac!!! It was able to pick out a nice quarter signal at 8 inches with a piece of iron on top of BOTH quarters!
I found 3 more wheats and then headed out. Can't wait to get back there. Here are the rest of the pics. Thanks for looking and HH.
