quickee hunt nets 54-D rosie

[Wyatt Earp]

I went to the park this morning, arriving at 6:17 am, something I 've taken to doing since that's the only time of day fit to hunt........and I wasn't there too long before it started raining. I was back home at 6:40 am, but in that time I found a clad quarter 3 clad dimes, 3 pennies.....and a 54-D rosie.

The rosie was a real surprise. I re-checked the hole after removing a clad dime which was pretty shallow......only to get a higher reading than I had to begin with. The rosie was 5-6 inches deep in the same spot as the clad dime. Had I left the shallow target, I'd not have recovered the deeper one because it was completely masked by the dominant signal of the shallower target.

You just never know.....

Excellent - way to go!!!

That is good advice to all
Recheck all your digs and you may get lucky like Wyatt did.

Nice find, Wyatt! How large is this park? Was the dime a perfect reading?

[Wyatt Earp]

Hi Keith.......

The park is about 5 acres total. After removing the clad dime, the silver roosevelt dime registered like a quarter on the meter, and I checked it from several angles and it still registered as a quarter. Though I thought it was strange that it was under the clad dime I'd dug.....I knew that the second target was silver, and likely a dime.

I had to go to the post office and get money orders....and it was just after their lunch hour started, so I went back to the park for a short hunt....and perhaps the rain did some good, because I found a 47 rosie, again at a depth of 5 inches or thereabouts. Initial signal was VDI only, roughly that of a quarter, but I got a good audio tone while pinpointing in all-metal mode. That's 29 pieces of silver from this little place now.
