Yo Ho Ho! Check your hole twice.

[Dirt Fishn Dave]

I was coin hunting with friends in an old campground the other day. I had just dug a memorial penny and move over to the next campsite when my friend started detecting the site I had just left. He yelled and asked if I had dug a coin by the spot he was standing. I told him yes I had dug a memorial penny there. He asked me to come back and showed me a 1929 wheat penny he had found in the exact spot I had just left. The moral of the story is to "re-check" the hole again after finding your target. Merry Christmas.

I got a beautiful 1866 2 center that way one time. My buddy took me to one of his spots that he had been to a couple days prior. Hadnt found much when I got a great tone over one of his plugs from the previous hunt. Pulled the plug out, and the 2 center was about an inch farther down in the hole.
I kinda felt bad and told him he could have it because he had already dug it, he said no. He now double checks all plugs and so do I.

Two rings, one hole.....Sure there wasn't any finger bones there too?

Last week I picked up the aluminum from the beach, and then the dime right under it. You're right on.

True story: I was on a beach in southern California and got a good signal. The scoop pulled up a nice and unusual silver ring. I re-checked the hole out of habit, and got another tone. Out came a gold ring. I re-checked the hole again and got -yet another- gold ring! By the time I was through I got the first silver plus four gold rings (2 with stones) out of that same hole! Believe me, I searched a 10' radius around that spot VERY carefully, hoping to find the earrings, necklace, pendant, bracelets, and brooch. Nothing more turned up. Then I went to another beach and found another gold ring- a baby's ring w/ teddy bear and sapphire! A record I'll never beat and a memory I'll never forget.

wise advice! I had a three coin hole that started with an 1856 quarter. If I hadn't checked the hole I would have missed two more pre 1861 coins!
