Popular Post Dan(NM) Posted September 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2021 I took a day trip today, drove about an hour to go hunt a park that I've been to before. Took me a little while to finally hit a nice hot spot. The area was about 15 ft wide and 30 ft long. Every signal was either a deep wheat or a silver. As you can see my ratio of keepers to clad was extremely high today. I'm running the Equinox 800 in my cherry-picking mode, only digging anything from zinc's up. The barber quarter was an oddball, this park wasn't founded until 1925. I hunted for about six and a half hours. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal_Cobra Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Congrats on the successful hunt!! I have a little spot like that whereas the top 6" have been hoovered, but anything past about 6" is an old coin.Β Β It's drying up though, but I know there's more there lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvpopeye Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 cal_cobra It would be nice it every park would be so organized.. I like the hoovered theory but could it be fill instead ? Maybe you could figure when (if?) they brought in the extra 6" by the dates on finds?Β Β Β 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an old site, goes back to around the 1870's and given what I know about it, I am very methodical when I do detect it, gridding in multiple directions, and anything that makes a peep is investigated.Β The days of five star easy button signals is long past.Β 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
