My brother recently purchased a fixer upper, built in approximately 1910. The house has a side yard approximately 100' by 50', probably used for outdoor gatherings and picnics at one time. Hunting for approximately one hour on each of the last five Sundays, I found the coins pictured. Although I have yet to break into the 1800s, I am certainly satisfied with these results. These were found with a Garrett Ace 250. I just ordered a Minelab E Trac and plan to go over the area again. Hopefully the field will continue to produce! JL.JPG

great so far, and I like how you proudly display them.... My coins are in a pile, with their story of being found already forgotten... I suck.

Nice job! You will crack the 1800s in no time! Check the path from the front door to the mailbox too.

man for just joining, you pulled many keepers in a short while. Took me months to find that amount. Never more than 3 at a time, but usually 1 every 20 hours of dirt fishing. Congrats on the great haul and on a great permission.:notworthy:

Sweet yard!! There's probably still more waiting too. I'd keep pounding it and if you get a good soaking rain I'd be all over it.

Congrats!!

Hey can you explain the benefits of rain other than softening the ground ( or is that what u were talking about?). Thx!

My understanding of the soaking rain is that it provides better conductivity allowing you to reach deeper targets
