Nice goldie haul 
Nothing wrong with those results...well done
Same park and another $21.80.
Had a Johnny walker lid sound off at 36. I thought I'd found something silver but when i got it home and washed it, not so much.
Also there's a rock in the ground there it looks like some compacted ash mix and it comes in at 32. Annoying lol.

Your hooked Brian
Those pesky bottle tops they make the 705s chirp like a coin and the IDs have you visualising a pre-decimal coin every time.
I've lost count of how many times I've said to myself "finally, a pre-decimal" followed by "fugget"

dig so many bottletops, but you cant walk past them, it maybe a pre dec!
Yeah. I find most bottle tops the signal is a bit erratic i kinda know its going to be junk before popping it out of the grass. The johnny walker lid was crushed up nice and round. Sounded off like the bag of silver trinkets i was testing with the other day.
2 and a half hours till I'm prospecting again. I almost bought a balaclava for the cold but my wife said it would unsettle people. Yeah. I spose so.

Buy one, nobody will think your a crim swinging a detector, and most sane people will be indoors, keeping warm.
Well another $10.91
The conductive rock ?potash? that is in the ground was everywhere and about an inch down. Very challenging. Pinpoint mode would sometimes clear up the rock/coin question but still dug rock countless times.

Hey Brian , your rock/potash sounds like it could be slag (from metal processing)
It has been used as fill in quite a few parks around Newy.
Drives you nuts.
As coins probably wont sink/penetrate through the stuff , try reducing your sensitivity to stay above it
Believe it or not my second florin came from one of these type of parks ... Reduced sensitivity down to 2 bars on the Ace250.

Yeah i dropped sensitivity down to 18. Will drop it further. Got first coin spill btw. 2x $1 sitting next to each other. Saved digging a hole lol. Some parts of this park its like one big coin spill cant move without another coin to dig.
Ka-ching ... Gotta love that
Gentle reader, I bring to you a tale so horrible it grieves me to utter the words.
I've been out for a few swings, nothing special to report from those, but yesterday was different.
Firstly I went to the beach with the daughter, 4 hours yielded a sensible $6.00, the beach was remarkably clean and I was pulling rusty 50c pieces from about a foot down. The sun was shining and it was a nice day.
Last night, I felt dissatisfied with what I had found. I knew I had to visit the park of endless money to ease these feelings. I went out at 8:50pm, as the lights are turned off at 9:00, leaving me undisturbed in the dark.
I wandered around the park, found $4 in one spill, and a large badge, working my way towards a tree near the road. I was cold, it was dark and I hadn't found so much after a couple of hours. Everything was as it should be. The next hit I found a trinket. I didn't know it was a skull, unknowingly I stashed it with everything else I had found.
Finally I come to the tree. The detector starts going crazy, everywhere I swing its 28,30,32,34. I start popping out the targets and its all money. I was stuck there for hours pulling coins out of the ground. Some of the coins were sitting on the surface, I'd find a target and see a $2 sitting on the ground next to it, pick it up and pop more money. It got to the stage where my arms were killing and I couldn't bend over any more, but the park was relentless in its offerings. I went over the same area 3 times, continually pulling out more and more money. Finally, I had to give in. The park had beaten me - I couldn't pop any more money out of the ground It was 1:00am and I was exhausted. I walked away from what I know was more money waiting to be picked up. All up I found $50 and some change.
Be careful out there guys. This could happen to anyone.

A great result and an excellent recounting of events. I hope you recover from your afflictions to continue fighting the good fight. Thank you for the warning.

Wow Brian,... I honestly thought that was going to end with you realising that the hole in your poket was at the bottom of it and that you were just finding all of those surface finds again and again,..... was overwhelmed with emotion when I saw the final photo and realised there was no hole in your poket and that all the coins were real cash money,..... hats off to a great score Brian,.... must have been a few people rolling around a fair bit in that one spot for all of that to happen,.... or,.... unless your Mrs has been out and planted up a spot to keep you very happy(Only wishing my Mrs would do that for me now,....regardless of circimstances).
