I left the house yesterday to hunt a site I have been researching. Got their, geared up, and was tried to walk to the areas where the structures once stood in the late 1800's. Half way to the 1st site I found the mud to be 6 inches deep or deeper in spots. 
Too muddy to hunt yet. So off to a permission I had hunted a couple times before. Pulled over 60 targets yesterday. This site has produced a 50% silver Kennedy half and the 4 wheat penny cache in an old compact. I figured that I'd grid it and go in a different direction. Pulled a few green wheats , the 3rd one was 9 inches deep. I missed these on 2 previous hunts. 1st hunt I used my White's Classic ID (back-up/loaner detector) since the F75 LTD SE was gone for repair. The 2nd hunt I used F75 LTD SE with the stock DD coil and still missed these targets. The 15" x 12" S.E.F. coil gave me a good target ID. The coil is heavy but well worth it. 
I also pulled a 50% silver coin, a 1968 Canadian dime. The 2 wheats are dated 1916 & 1958.
I then went to a huge house built in 1900 and got permission to hunt for 2 hours.
Was hopping for some silver, but none were found in the limited hunt. The 2 oldest coins were wheat pennies (1918 & 1948).
When I arrived home I brushed the coins off using water and a tooth brush for the photo. I also use backing soda on the green wheats so I can read their dates. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the 3rd wheat from the 1st site was actually a 1890 IHP.
1890 IHP
All Targets (less the trash)
As always, hope ya'll got out and swung the coil.
