 Am NOT grumpy!
Smallest coin finds?
Has anyone ever detected and dug a half dime, or $1 gold coin? What was your smallest find?
I bought a half dime to test my AT Pro. It didn't exactly light up the detector! My smallest find was probably a Mercury dime..
Um, not counting bb sized lead shot, or small fishing sinkers.

Cut hammered silver, 3cent, fishscales(5cent silver)
Air testing and in the ground will produce different results.
Certain makes hate air and even recoveries can be a challenge, tall grass with certain machines.
Low and slow is a good thing to sniff out the small.

I dug an 1847 Seated Liberty Half Dime with a Minelab Equinox 600 a couple years ago in bean stubble in Southern Illinois. My oldest coin. It was a little beat up and still repeated on the detector.
