Terry Soloman Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I could not drive the 54-miles out to Jones Beach today, and my Sand Shark was thrashing in the corner, just hungry as could be! I finally threw in the towel at 930am, and drove 10-minutes to the Middle School here in town, which was built in the early 1900s. I strapped on my Lesche and Knee pad, and turned the Shark loose! Ten-minutes and three targets later, I hit the Buffalo nickel at about 10" deep. The date is completely worn off, but I was stoked. It is Hot, humid and hazy today, and an hour-and-a-half after starting, I had dug about 35- targets including three- Wheats, three- Zincs, a Canadian coin (I think), and a 1969 nickel. I was pooped! I had decided to call it a morning just as I got a slight beep. It was just enough to make me swing over that spot again and rub it with the toe of my tennis shoe. Hmm.. Yes it was a hit, but honestly I almost didn't dig it. I was tired and hot, there was ice water in the car and this sounded a lot like a piece of wire. Ahh heck! I knelt down and put the Lesche in the ground and cut another plug. Well, I popped the plug up and immediately saw what I thought was the band of a silver ring! My heart jumped into my throat! I took off my gloves and started to pull the "ring" out of the dirt-clod. It was two silver 1964 dimes stuck together! How cool is that?! While I'm still swinging for my first ring, and really prefer the beach, I have to say today was pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedrock Bob Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Man that is good treasure hunting. If the average day is like that then the relly GREAT days are bound to come pretty often. Hunting areas wooly with humanity is bound to be profitable. Darn good finding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Soloman Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Thanks so much Bob and John! I really was quite pleasently surprised! A lot of the metal detector guys and gals on the other forums I haunt all use discrimination, very few dig it all like gold prospectors. We are quite used to digging up bullets at 12" and car doors at 30" LOL! I don't think I would use the PI just anywhere, but I'm going to use it in some historic and old places around town for goofs when I can't get to the beach. The history here in White Plains and the Hudson Valley, pre-dates the American Revolution by 120-years! - Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
