Yesterday was my luck day I suppose??? Here is a coin I found at an abondoned site in Massachusetts! Must have been nailed up to a fence post at one time or another!! RickieB
Nice find Rickie, I quite like holed coins specialy those that were properly worn as lucky charms or tokens of affection :smile Not sure about nailed to a post though thats a bit harsh LOL
The wife and I are going out with the Whites MXT today, just to a city park in Scottsdale/Phoenix, but I'll post any finds Way to go Rickie !!!!
Hey Brian...no problem MineLab Xcalibur.....good to 200 ft below the water....not that I would ever go that far..(these days anyway)... RickieB
200 ft ~ you are barely getting your feet wet - Doesn't get fun until you're below 1000. Nice find!!!
nice find Rickie what happened to the chicago coin metal detetctors club? i know a couple of members were interested well the time to go is now guys.
Rickie, nice find. I do quite a bit of detecting myself. You got a good detector there. I always find that my finds are more sentimental to me than any coin that i have ever paid for. That is the god honest truth. Tom
Darryl....LOL... I know you Submariner's are used to great depth's...that steel hull can withstand the pressure that our bodies can't. Ten (10 years as a Deep Sea Diver in the Gulf of Mexico Oil Field's) when I was younger! 256' was the deepest with 91% He and 9% O2 (ppO2 at depth) switch over at 190 to heliOx and then air at 60' until we got up to the can! Usually 5-6 hr's can time to decompress (Surface Decompression using O2). Many many hours in the water....but I am sure not as may as your day's in the Sub Corps! Right on 656!!! RickieB
Tom...I agree..and yes, I was sticked shocked with the cost of this detector! I am happy to say it finds things others miss... RickieB
Worked an area in the park....found 2 zinc Lincolns and a Deleware quarter..... When I got home, I figured out I had it in Relic mode........doh, no wonder I did not have a better day, but it was still fun
Even in a modern sub going deep is a experience you never forget. We would tie a string from one side to the other on the surface. By the time we would get to test depth the string would sag by about three feet. The pressures outside the haul makes you understand that if anything went really wrong you didn't have to worry much about suffering long! The ride to the surface can be better than any amusement ride. When the COW hits the chicken switches ~ it's an elevator ride that reminds you of the scene in Charlie and the Chocolate factory only on a much larger scale. Real deep to the surface in less than a minute and then a full broach like in the movie hunt for red October. I don't envy the divers that go as deep as you did, dangerous is an understatement! I would love to use that detector off the coast of Sebastian inlet, FL. If I didn't have such a shark phobia (-lol-result of a run in with a hammer head) - I'd be there looking for some Spanish gold!
Nice find. All that I found yesterday was about $5 in small change, including a Saci $, only the second this year.
