the fruit of my labor day, '86 variety 1 IH, '09 "V" and a cool buckle

the IH was 8" down masked by iron, variety 1,Liberty is full and for a dug coin appears to be at least EF condition with a Redbook value of $140, the "V" was 1" down under a tree at curb line and the buckle again masked by iron. running the ace250 in all metal with no discrimination has been rewarding, I hover the coil with micro swings and get amazing separation from the iron targets.I dig any target that comes off iron even if it doesn't repeat. in most areas I use jewelry mode but this site is loaded with old deep iron. got my 1888 IH this week that was IMG_0174.JPG IMG_0175.JPG IMG_0176.JPG IMG_0177.JPG IMG_0178.JPG IMG_0179.JPG IMG_0157.JPG IMG_0158.JPG IMG_0149.JPG IMG_0150.JPG IMG_0151.JPG IMG_0147.JPG 14 inches down with three rotted square nails above it. 20 minutes of roots and rocks later out pops the Indian. also got my NYCRR keys and tag at 8 inches also surrounded by iron. the SCHRADE knife has a current bid of $9. this sure beats digging 5 hours for 6 bucks in clad

Nice hunt and that site appears to have really mild soil also which helps all the finds out, that buckle is also a really neat find have never seen that one before !
