Got an invitation from a hunting buddy today to go to the beach and take advantage of the low tide. Hunted a good 5 hours covering both sides of the tide. Found my first ever watch case, or at least a fair portion of the case. It was brass and about 15 inches deep. Kept going down and down and expected junk.
After the tide, we decided to try a local park. It has been worked hard in the past and we really didn't have any expectations. The ground was surprisingly quiet with very little trash and very few targets. Finally I got a strong 33-34 on the NOX. This was really one of the first targets I came across. Dug the plug and out popped the ring. Quite a surprise! It was big enough to wear on my thumb.
The park just wasn't producing much else so we decided to knock on some doors. Had the good fortune to ask at a house with the nicest guy. He said sure, go ahead and search the front yard of his 1905 vintage house, and if we want, we can also search his back yard where the grass had been totally worn down by his dogs. He spent some time chatting with us and when we were digging some of the holes in his back yard he even offered us the use of a shovel if we needed it! I recovered a 1899 Indian in the back yard, and my buddy picked up a couple of old Wheats. We finally got around to the front yard and for me the EMI was awful. Had to turn my sensitivity down to 15 just to be able to hunt. Nonetheless, I was able to find a deep 1907 V Nickel. I've only found 2 other Indians in my past hunting and also only 2 previous V Nickels. Needless to say I was very pleased with these 2 finds. My buddy found several deep early Wheats as well. It was a good day of hunting in three different settings and was much enjoyed. Everyone stay safe. Thanks for looking and HH.
