So my wife signed the kids up for swimming lessons at the county pool. I tagged along yesterday with the nox to check out a football practice field. Only found around 17 cents in the field when I noticed there's a small totlot beside the pool. I headed up there and within 5 minutes, boom, I get solid 28. Two inches down is this little .925 ring.
This afternoon I got out to my best producing park. Went over some areas I'd been over before with the f70 and the vaquero. Found lots of nickels once again. 17 this time. Last time I had the nox here I found 24. Also found a 1952 rosie, but I'm pretty sure I hadn't had a coil over that exact spot before because it was under a big juniper tree that just had its lower limbs cut for probably the first time in many years. Also found a '45 wheatie. It's so hot out that I've been starting work at 6am. I'm building a roof over a deck for a customer and left a little after 12 noon to detect the park. I was already beat from the heat before I started detecting...now I'm really bushed! It was fun though!
Forgot to mention one of those nickels was a measured 9" down! Strong signal and good ID and I had the sense at only 18.
Edit: was going through the junk and looked at what I thought was a junk piece of aluminum through the magnifyer. To my surprise it's part of a silver bracelet. Marked "sterling Usa" with a jb inside a triangle. Also has JEP 9-18-67 inscribed on it. No wonder it rang up in tbe high 20s on the nox!
