Metal Detecting - 2 Trips with US Coins found

It never ceases to amaze me that in the most populated place in the nation he can go week after week and pull as much out of the sand that he does. Makes me think they have perforated pockets up north!

I have my big coil on my detector. It seeks deeper coins and metals. I have noticed less current drops lately..
This is my 17 inch coil compared to my small sharpshooter -

 

Do you keep track of specific areas you've searched and try different locations then?

 

That's it......I've been thinking about getting a metal detector for a while now...I'm gonna go get one....

 

Very nice finds. We rarely find old coins on our beaches but occasionally inland we do.

My most recent finds. Buffalo nickel, half and a fallen angel (bronze) from an old churchyard.

 

Nice find....Think I would want to make a trip back there... an look some more.

Be careful with the fingerprints on your silver dollars, someone might check them against the data base.

 

Paddy, you are the ring master!

 

It depends. I have my own known Hot Spots at certain beaches. This past hunt at the local park I did areas that I usually avoid. To my surprise the areas produced that handful of coins I showed.

 

Too many Russians.......

 

I have met 2 Russian detectorists and they really keep to themselves. They don't share any of their finds.. I just say hello and move on.
One Russian puts on a diving suit and goes up to his chest with his detector. I heard he does very well with lost jewelry.

 

Always loved the name of that street. Must be a throw back to the 'revolution' or, perhaps, an old rock group...........

 

@paddyman98 , when your detector goes beep, beep, beep, how far down do you dig? Does it tell you?

 

Yes.. My CTX 3030 tells you how deep the object is..
So it I get the numbers 12.44 on my screen which is always a US clad Dime it will say 6 inches. It's actually 5 inches because you have to take into account the 1 inch space between the coil and the sand or soil.

 

Also.. The size of the coils determines the depth you want to search. Small coils can detect down to 6" or 8" and larger coils down to 14" deep. But the deeper the object the harder it is to dig. It gets tiring even with the sand scoop!

 

Now when the devil are you gonna go after some 'blues' or 'strippers'?

 

Why is 12.44 always a dime? What's the 12.44? It must be very fun! I don't think I've even seen a metal detector. Stay safe in NYC.

 

It reminds me of the Rolls Royce winged lady emblem. The hood ornament.
Thanks for sharing!

 

My wife won't like that I'm going out for strippers
