Againstmywill Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Was out to the local park on the football field. It just rained a couple days back, so the ground was moist. Usually these conditions mean that deep wheat pennies or silver is easier to get to. Today I hit a 33 in Park 1, recovery 4, 50 tone, and all metal. I thought there was a possibility of a silver quarter, but to my surprise there was a silver ring instead. Looks like it may be from the 1940s. It was resting on top of a clay layer under the sandy surface. I think there were 3 wheat pennies, but they are very crusted with sand. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB_Amateur Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 So you got it up for sale on Ebay already? Nice find. Sure looks like the same hallmark. I'm impressed you were able to match it. I didn't notice in your post how deep it was. How does the 15 inch coil leave you (arm, back,...) feeling after a decent day's hunt? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about 2 inches beyond the depth of the Carrot. As for the 15" coil, I tend to only have about 2 hours to detect at a time, sometimes 3. Due to the nature of my hunting style, my legs get far more fatigued than my arm/shoulder/back in that window of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
