Went To Hardy
Went to Hardy today and spent about 4 hours. Its a long drive when you spend 3/4 of your trip driving 15 miles of dirt roads. The old town is about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile long and there aren't any buildings left. The school shut down in the early 40's, and is at the east end. I hunted the west end due to linemen setting poles on the east side and running more power to the ranch. Next time I go I need to locate an old street map to see more of the layout. I didn't find any coins (Yet) but dug a lot of trash with the F-2 using the 8" coil. I set the sensitivity to its lowest setting and was finding old copper fittings about the size of a dime at 6 inches and deeper. The F-2 Shoots really deep. Also found a spoon about 8" deep. Looks to be a childs spoon about 6" long. It needs more cleaning but stamped either pat.1801 or 1901 hard to tell, also stamped solid egyptian (looks like "metal") what ever that is. So I didn't get skunked today.
