I returned gold class ring #3 to the girls school that I found and posted about a few weeks back. While I was there, I got the ok to detect another house they own that was built in 1740. It’s located across the street from a 369 year old church so needless to say I had very high hopes of pine tree shillings and my first gold coin [emoji13]I went to work with the Equinox and small coil as it’s pretty much become my go to setup. It didn’t take more than 30 mins to realize this place has been hit before. And hit it they did! To their credit they left the place devoid of pretty much everything except the sea of iron. I did manage to pull a gorgeous 1853 large cent about a foot down in the sea of rusty nails and hot rocks. This place was tough. Between the EMI from the power lines and presumably the fire house next door, the absolutely insane amount of iron in the ground and the damn hot rocks, it’s a wonder anyone could stand it for long. I ended up digging 3 wheats from a tree root and a key besides the large cent and a couple pull tabs. That was in 2 hours! The only good thing was with all the rain we’ve had this summer, the soil conditions are amazing and you can pull monster depth. Downside is the mosquitoes are brutal [emoji51]
