2 hours driving and 4 hours detecting = only a few keepers.
Went back to a park Scott and I hit looking for some old coins. Gridded off an area and ~ an hour into the hunt I had a definite good hit. Turned out to be this 1900 barber dime. I felt good like this was going to be an incredible day, however, it certainly wan't that. Other good hits turned out to be small pieces of copper that appeared deep on my machine, but were actually shallow. Of course, I found this out after the hole was dug.
Other deep pieces of copper were iffy hits, not of which paid off, and a few signals near garbage that didn't pay off.....just a tough day, but a beautiful one.
Inquisitive kids, which I patiently spoke to and let them trail me around for hours, really slowed progress....either way, I was not going to get much. A reverse grid of the same area turned up tese 2 IH's, 1881 and 1903.
I visited a few other parks, however, they were new parks. One may have potential but there were too many people there today. So back to the original park I went.
THings are tough around here....I just can't seem to get a good location and I am traveling in the wrong direction too....as you can tell, I am not too happy with my year so far. There's very little around here, so I switched gears and started digging foil, nickels and pulltabs......hundreds w/o 1 gold piece to show for it.
