Tiny hunted out park not so hunted out

[MIKE54]

6487164872On my way home from the golf course on the 1st truly comfortable day to detect in a long time I decided to spend a few hours at a small (and I mean tiny) veteran's park on the way home. The park has a few war monuments on it and is probably 100' x 100' in size and is in the middle of town, so truly pounded. The sign said it was established in 1946. I found a 1939 Washington last year and rehunted it a few times and besides a few wheats found nothing else worthwhile. So I hunted it again, but this time used the "high trash" program on the V3i that was so successful at the golf course in the spring and really went slow. I was happy when the 1st Merc showed up so I gridded the surrounding 20' x 20' area and got the rest of the goodies. When I first got there I was detecting for no more than 5 minutes when a fellow detector pulled over and we talked for about 20 minutes about detecting and I mentioned that I was here to kill some time and probably wouldn't find much. Of course he mentioned that no place is ever hunted out and I had to agree with him. He left and my first signal was the Merc. So I guess he was right lol. And I guess a return trip is in order.

Congrats on tearing up that "hunted out" area! While its usually true that no place is completely hunted out, I did one lot that gave up a lot of goodies over great deal of time. But eventually even using my PI machine that can hit on a pin head at 2 feet wouldn't so much as peep any more! Lol

Wow, congrats on pulling more silvers than wheaties! It takes great skill to find those coins amongst the trash in heavily hunted areas. It just shows what a good detectorist can do when he's got skills. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

Good work! Yep, never hunted out. Just need to work harder and smarter at pounded sites.

In order, indeed!! :yes:
Way to sniff out a few shinny ones from there Mike!
Congrats! :grin:

Nice hunting Mike. I have found in the hi-trash program you have to go real slow. That program will lock on any good target. Yup...ya gotta go back....:thumbsup02:
