I went to an older site this morning, I'd say the homes located around the site that detected were built around 1915. The site is used as a water retention basin/Park. I figured that there should be some old coins laying around there somewhere.
I started swinging and digging, but all I was finding was a bunch of clad coins. I was hoping that I could at least find some wheat pennies to give me some hope that there might be some silver there as well. I nearly gave up on the site, but I finally got my search coil over a 1924 Mercury Dime. It must have been on edge because the signal wasn't all that great and the EMI from the power lines was giving me fits.
A short while later I switched detectors and got my search coil over a 1914 Barber Dime. Again not a real good signal and I wasn't digging anything over 5 or 6 inches deep, most were at 4 inches. The next time that I hit that site, I'll take my CZ-5 and see how it handles the EMI.
