Same here! I always gravitate toward those large old trees! Nice find! Keep an eye out for large, depressed areas as well....lots of time there was a much older tree there (long gone) that may have gone over in a storm and been removed, that may have some cool targets under it!

Great hunch! Someone probably needed some shade and sat down on a hot summer day, and unbeknownst to him, left that beauty cause it belonged to you. Great recovery. Thanks for letting us enjoy it too.

Congratulations. I found a Walker next to a fence a couple of months ago. Fences or large metal objects are good places to hunt because other MDers have trouble close to metal objects. I just turn down the sensitivity on mine and scan slower.

Yesterday I found a 1957 wheat on one side of an old stump and a no-date Buffalo on opposite side.

I found my first silver coin, a 1947 Washington, at the base of an old tree stump.

Congrats on the find!
