Detecting weather has finally arrived here in N.W. Indiana!

I finally was able to make it to an old farm site I've been wanting to detect and manage to make two trips there. This place has an old cellar hole that has a stone foundation around it. My first trip was a short one as all I found were 3 tokens. I only had an hour and the first token I found was 5 cent in trade token. The interest thing about this find is that it was laying on a rusted out nail as you can see in the picture it rotted out an edge of the token where it was resting on it.

The little 5 inch Excelerator on the Explorer 2 managed to find this token for me by getting by the masking of the nail, very impressive I thought. My next find was a Pontiac Chief of the sixies at 8 inches deep! This token is bronze and when I first pulled it out of it's grave, I thought it to be a nasty looking Barber quarter. I was still delighted with the find and amazed at the depth this little coil is giving me.


The other token was a Palmalive token that was maybe 3 inches deep. All of these tokens has something trying to mask them out as this place has been hit by fellow detectorist in the past. I need to add that ground conditions were slightly moist soil and my mineralization here reads a nasty 89-92 here on my DFX in ground phase. My settings on the machine with the 5 inch excelerator were sens at 12(man) and I opted to run iron mask at -10 with fast settings and ferrous tones.


My next trip to this site started out with the 8 inch Excelerator Concentric which worked good away from the foundation area and found me four toy guns an old lock and a couple of wheaties. I think most of the detectorist have had hit this place steered away from the foundation because of allthe trash and rusted nails. I decided to switch back to the 5 inch Excelerator and and run my old coins program with a sensitivity of 10 in manual. This seemed to be the hot settingfor me as I found 7 wheats a 24 mercury, 61 Rosie and another token. I can say this coil out of ALL 5 inch coils I have used whether it be a Minelab or another machine has proven to be the best coil by far at seperating in extreme trash! It just has a knack at ferreting out coins in trash. The depth is very impressive and the seperation is superb. I think this second generation of Excelerators are no doubt a WINNER.
