Got out a few days ago but have been very busy with several things happening all at once...so here I am posting at last! Hunted for about 4 hours total and it was fairly difficult getting to these deep targets - all coins were found between 7-9" deep and the ground has somewhat hardened up due to lack of rain.
It took about two hours into the hunt to finally land an old coin which was the 1939 D Wheat. As time went on, each coin dug (with the exception of the surface clad not pictured) got older and older. Next coin to come up was the tax token, which is out of the 1930s, followed by the 1934 D Wheat. Did manage to score a wee bit of silver in the form of broken jewelry - it was likely a bracelet before the lawnmower found it!
Wandered over to a slightly different part of the park and found a deep 1919 S Wheat, then 10 feet away came a deep 1902 Indian cent. But Mike would be the big winner of the day digging an 1891-O Seated dime at about 8-9"
He used a Fisher Coinstrike detector, one that I've never heard of, and showed it capable of getting down to the good stuff. It was also this detector's maiden voyage...what a coin to dig on its first outing!
Second Seated in a week...
Hoping for some serious rain so we can get back to easy digging - my forearms were sore the next day after the hard digging, but you know what they say about things that won't kill you.....
