My last three detecting hunts have been somewhat serreal.
The site I was at has been hunted quite heavily over the years and with a new 13" Detech search coil on my V3i, I thought I'd give it a go.

During my first two hunts at this site, I recovered a 1945 Washington Quarter at about 10", a 1915 Motor Vehicle "dash-tag" and a man's 14k wedding band (name inscribed) which will be returned to one of his surviving daughters.

My last hunt was a first for me. . . I recovered six Indian Head Cents (the most I ever recovered in one hunt) and a 1923 Buffalo Nickel. . . and these were all 6" to 9" deep.

I wish all my hunts could be this productive.

Thanks for looking :)

I wish I could have a small portion of that type of day. Good coins and the Indians have always been my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice finds. I know that the gold ring is supposed to be the "find"... however, I am quite enamored with all of those green IHCs. Well done.

Very nice hunt :occasion14: Looks like the big coil is working out good, our old hunted out park is just that , Minelab Sovereign picked it clean long ago in the 90s.
