Went to an old park I thought I cleaned out. That was when I thought 6-8 inch coins were ask I could get. Slowed down completely and try to make every questionable signal in to a good one before I move on. Every one of these coins were found at 8 to 10 inches and to make sure the signal had to be in the dead center of the coil to get the final read. I discovered the At Pro will enhance the signal with repeated sweeps over just that item. Took me 3 hours to go and do 6 yard wide strips of about 150 tars long. Here's the finds, a toasted 1907 Indian, a beautiful 1905 Indian, 2 wheats ( 1919 S and !930 S) a Merc 1943 D and a Barber Dime 1906 S. Thanks for looking and remember slow down

We have a lot of old stuff here on the east coast, but I totally envy the amount of "S" mints you guys find out there- Congrats on the nice finds!

Excellent hunt. That PRO will go deep. Like you said,, you have to go slow. Once a nice chirp gets your attention. It is so important to isolate it by slowly passing the coil over the target. My deepest Mercury Dime was at 9 inches with the 5 X 8 coil. The stock coil will get you deeper.
Very nicely done.
