Popular Post NCtoad Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2023 EDIT: Acid test says it’s between 14k and 18k! Haven’t been posting much the past few months as I haven’t been finding much to post about. Doesn’t mean I haven’t been out detecting though! I’ve been hitting the woods a lot and I got a permission to a 1940s house that gave up one merc and I keep going over my usual sites, but they’re not producing. Today I hit the local high school. I’ve pulled well over $100 in clad out of there and had my best clad day there with about $33 in one hunt. Today I got 4 rings, two junkers, a .925, and one more that I’m pretty sure is gold. It’s not marked but I took a small file the inside and didn’t see a color change after filing a small groove. It rang up a solid 51 on the D2. Got that one and two of the others under the home bleachers. Also got $9.90 in clad! Which is pretty good since I hit this place so often. Gotta love the deus2 for being able to remove the coil and lower stem while crawling on my hands and knees under the bleachers! I got a gold acid test kit on the way so I’ll be testing that ring and will update this post once I test it. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Hope the test scratch doesn't dissolve? Like the look of those bleachers ! The ones here have too many cross braces..But I get under there anyway.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 NCtoad!!! ? Great job man, that's a lot of digging. ? I was averaging about $10 a day at the campground so I feel the ache. Sadly no good rings just junk. I just waved the 13" under the benches, if I got a blip I went after it with the MI-6. Much better idea to pull the coil. You don't have a lot of "freshies" in that pile 'o' clad so it looks like you're hitting the deeper stuff. ? Good to see ya back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything under the bleachers is around 1 inch or less. In the grassy areas around the school buildings I’d say the average depth is 2-5”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
