B5MECH's ATGold finds

[B5MECH]

Gotta be more silvers there somewhere mate. They must be hiding in all the junk somewhere.

It's getting hard with all the tiny foil junk no matter how much surface junk I pick up there's more the next day
the park just had some not sure if there drainage pipes laid' and has pushed some to the surface around them
Getting to the point I might leave it for a while til the next high tide flood to settle it all again
even the BB's are getting deeep :N: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I think I need to start the whole park griding again and not just hanging around the same small spots over and over

 

[Heatho]

Yeah mate a bit more exploration there might help.

Good couple of days of hunting B5 !!!

Same as Heatho mentioned, if there are penny sized targets still sitting in the ground, you are still in with a good chance of silver. Ignore those shallow foil targets, should be listening for deep, possibly faint high tones, a lot of the small silvers do tend to sink a fair way into the soil compared to the larger coins. I tend to use my ears for selective discrimination, ignoring most shallower targets and taking more notice of the deeper ones if after older gear.

 

[B5MECH]

There is still a lot of deep modern junk and I've been too busy trying to cherry pick the coins out Got sick of digging copper and brass off cuts
Maybe next time I'll commit to digging all the high tone junk and see what else pops out :Y:
Wish the park was old enough to dig what you get GP

 

[Goldpick]

Just remember those small silvers will only pinpoint as small targets, so anything with a large cross section when pinpointed is unlikely to be a coin (unless a hoard ). Really is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, just have to close your mind off to larger more obvious/shallower targets - same as I did today picking through all the high tone scrap metal for smaller targets of interest.

Does make it hard in a park situation where there is a lot of junky fill or industrial waste from cleared sites converted to parks.

When for a quicky in search of silver

Mouldy silver 8) uncleaned, unwashed, straight from the ground may get steamcleaned
