For more than 30 years I have used test gardens for the hobby of metal detecting. I have three currently. Two of them are 5 feet square and the third is only 3 feet square. Why use a test garden?
A test garden serves several purposes. Foremost for me is learning the sounds of different targets. My first and oldest garden has 20 different targets buried between about 2 to 8 inches deep. It has taught me to distinguish sounds of iron objects shallow and deeper, aluminum targets ranging from pencil erasers, gum wrappers and various pull tabs. I have learned how to distinguish old nickels, Indian Head cents, war nickels as well as the pesky zinc pennies. Practicing with all my detectors and various coil sizes has made me more proficient than just depending on detector target ID systems. As a result of really getting to know my test gardens, I can also wisely choose detector brands when a given target has a strong probability based on my research of a given hunt site. Another basic use is to determine signal strength and intensity for select targets.
My favorite dimes are the Mercury and Barber coins. In garden two I have them buried from about 4 to more than 8 inches deep. Each of my Fisher 1200 series and my CZ 20 can locate all of the dimes. My various White's, Garrett and Minelab machines will locate most of them but not with the strength of signal of the Fisher units. I choose to use Tesoro detectors for nickel finds as I can distinguish better between old nickels and aluminum pull tabs. For relic hunting, Garrett Master Hunters and White's 5900 and 6000 units are my choices based on distinguishing different signals as well as their depth on bullets and Revolutionary and Civil War items. These are workhorse machines, rugged and powerful units excellent for both coin and relic hunting. I use my smaller test garden for 3 to 5 inch coils and the coins and other targets are buried at no more than 6 inches deep. I do not believe in overlapping good and bad targets to see the "breakthrough" capabilities of a given detector or coil. This does not exist in my opinion. Turn your discrimination up to knock out pull tabs and almost all good targets in the same area will also be missed. Numerous times in working beaches, I have uncovered gold and coin items only after the pull tabs were removed.
In my 5 by 5 test gardens, I place targets at about 8 to 10 inches apart and 20 targets is my maximum number of buried items. I make a map of the garden designating each item and the depth buried. I have the same number of items in my 3 by 3 garden as I place the targets at about 5 to 7 inches apart.
To build a test garden use a good detector with all metal capabilities and remove all buried signals from the area. Keep it away from utility lines above or below the ground. I recommend using items that are common to your hunting area. Mine contains items dug from schools, beaches, parks and ball fields. This is where I do most of my hunting and these targets will be my probable finds. I bury very few large good targets like silver halves or dollars. They are less common finds and are nice surprises when dug. Of the 150,000 coins I have dug, these large coins are less than 1/2 percent of my totals. Quarters make-up about 15%, nickels about 5%, dimes about 30% and pennies about 50% of all coin finds.
A third important use of test gardens is practicing pinpointing targets. Various detector coils have different centers of detection. Practice, practice, practice! You can learn to maximize your pinpointing skills. Hand in hand with pinpointing is the testing of retrieval tools. Probes, knives, spades and other tools need to be mastered so items are retrieved with little to no damage. Damaged coins are no fun. I did damage a semi-key half dollar 22 years ago. A very expensive small scratch on the reverse dropped the value of this 1900's era gem about 100 dollars. That was my last damaged coin. I use my test garden to assure this will not happen again.
Build your test garden and watch the quality and number of your good finds increase as you master the use of your treasure finding equipment. Here's to "diggin it"! Larry.

Two Dimes & A Nickel $14.99 Full performer name: David Davis & The Warrior River Boys/David Davis.In an era when every conceivable variation on bluegrass has been tried, and every imaginable sonic update has been grafted onto the traditional bluegrass template, it's refreshing to hear a group like David Davis & The Warrior River Boys. On TWO DIMES AND A NICKEL, Davis and company simply sound like they have no more fervent desire in life than to play old-school bluegrass of the kind upon which they undoubtedly grew up. Mandolinist/singer Davis digs into these tunes with no small amount of mountain soul, and his band is right there with him every step of the way, keeping the perfect balance between hot picking and tasteful accompaniment on tunes that sound like they could have fallen off the back of Bill Monroe's pickup truck some 50 years earlier. |

Scrooge McDuck is dining at Donalds house. Donald comments about the fact that, even though Donald never charges Scrooge when he eats there, Scrooge charges Donald when Donald eats at Scrooges house. Scrooge says its because he entertains his nephews about his adventures. Huey, Dewey and Louie then ask him to tell how he got the Number One Dime. He says its not so interesting and tells he was then a shoeshine boy in Glasgow in 1877. The boys then ask how Scrooge earned an American dime in Scotland. Scrooge himself never understood that and keeps telling the story, unaware that Magica De Spell was watching everything from her crystal ball. She starts thinking about how a 10yearold Scrooge wouldnt be so tough as his presentday self and remembers about a magic candle that has the power of sending someone back in time for one hour. She uses the candle to send herself to the Glasgow of the day Scrooge McDuck earned his first dime. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Two Thin Dimes $9.99 A fresh voice in urban fiction spins a classic romance into a modern-day love story about sisterhood, faith, and overcoming obstacles. This humorous tale of love and triumph ties two unlikely suitors together in a merry mix of plotting and gossip. On one side is R&B superstar, Jamaica, and on the other is the passionate, but impoverished Tameer. When the two are brought together in what is meant to be a temporary relationship -- arranged by Jamaica's best friend and personal assistant LaChina -- both are surprised when true feelings burst onto the scene and disrupt everyone's plans. With Tameer's drunken father, Jamaica's socialite mother, and a band of super-ghetto, meddling friends all blended together, Two Thin Dimes becomes a hilarious, topsy-turvy fight for love in a world gone mad. Going beyond the simple rich girl, poor boy tale, Caleb Alexander brings his popular style to a whole new level and draws his growing audience along with him as the story takes on social class, unexpected romance, loyalty to friends, and -- most importantly -- the cost of true love. |
