Got out to a yard I'd hit last week that produced a few coppers, and was chagrined to see some brown spots from some of the holes I'd dug, despite my perfect hole-digging form. 8) The owner wasn't too upset, and I got off with watering the offending plugs. Decided to stay away from the main part of the yard and hit a sidewalk that borders one side of the property. First signal was a dateless SLQ. There were lots of deep memorial pennies, and after digging one i got careless with a shallow signal and shaved the !@#% out of an 1892 Barber Dime. :-[
The Peace Dollar was less than an inch down, and made a totally OBSCENE sound in my headphones. I thought it was a beer can, and apparently so had my hunting buddy. ;D
I gave it to the property owner as a consolation for his spotty yard, on the condition that I could take some pics of it.
Didn't get any coppers, but I don't think I've ever had a day with the silver ratio to wheats and indians so good.
Strange world out there...

Very nice finds! That was very nice of you to give your ounce of history to the owner. I also give some of my finds to homeowners. Sometimes that offer is the best way to get on the lawn in the first place. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Jer. It is cool to see big silver coming out of the ground, but I don't mind giving it up.
I do like to hang onto the old coppers, though.

Thank you, Argentium. You are kind to mention me with CRU in the same sentence, but I'm just on a little hot streak.

They did not even lose dimes around here.

You are a lucky man to have fertile fields to till.

Thanks, Plehbah. Some days it does seem like they dumped the till in the field...
