About a month ago I hit a small lot close to a train depot. Lots of wine bottle screw caps and shredded beer cans to content with. I was able to pull a single Wheat cent from that trip in March.
Today, I thought I'd give it another try. I had a couple of hours to blow and wasn't expecting much. To my surprise, some keepers started finding their way to the surface. It utterly blows me away how you can miss targets from a previous hunt.
I did do some small adjustments to the SE, but I doubt that would explain today's luck. I just adjusted sensitivity and went to manual. Coins were average depth for this time period (approximately 4 inches).
1919 Wheat (I think it's 1919.. barely readable)
1936 D Wheat
1944 D Wheat
1924 D Buffalo (date is badly worn, but can see it under magnification)
1936 D Buffalo
1943 S Jefferson (War Nickel!)
1941 S Mercury
1959 D Rosevelt
The ground wasn't too kind to the coins, but it was a fun bit of hunting for sure.
Thanks!
