I returned for the final time ot the 1770 house in CT. Unfortunately, most of teh ground was rock hard and snow covered. I was armed with teh ACE 250 and stock coil, and did manage to find a number of smaller open areas near the corners of the property.
I was looking for early coinage, but was unsure of how they would come up on the screen or as a tone (can anyone help me)... so I set the meter to read all targets, and focused on these small open areas.
I did notice that there was an old overgorwn walkway which I had missed the last time I was there. This area was open, and I did hit a cache of old nails... they look hand forged to me, what do you guys think...
Other than these, nada... a few tin cans and that was it... I do like using the smaller coil much better, but am very disappointed that no coins were found... I dug almost every target I hit.
PS, I have no idea how anyone does this without the pinpointer... I mean, that tool is just a tremendous investment.
Let me know what you guys think of these nails? Any idea how to clean them up a bit?
