Hi all, went to an old home site that I have been to twice before. This is the first time with my ATPro and things went well. Don't know if it is me getting better or my equipment, probably a little of both. I usually target CW relics and don't hunt a lot of old home site's so today was fun. Very first hole was a coin spill!! (My first) there were two Wheat pennys in the hole. After I cleared it I checked the plug and got another good hit. It was a 1895 IH stuck back to back with another Wheat! Wow, what a way to start!! Continued on and dug some junk, then had another good coin signal. Found another Wheat and a 1935 mercury dime in the same hole. The merc is my first. Ended up with one more Wheat for a total of five. Could only date three.... 1945,1946,and1942. I haven't found a lot of coins so today was a thrill!! Also found a nice flat button, toy car , old brass hinge and what I think is a fired pistol bullet. 7 coins total!!! Had a blast. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Loco, I have found a few coins but not many. Not a lot of coins in the CW sites we hunt, so today was a nice change of pace and wasn't expected. My buddy found a 1857 half dime at one of our sites and I found a 1852 three cent pc at another so there are coins there we just haven't found them yet. Congrats on your finds today!
