This was my third trip to the hill, I have named it "Nickel Hill". I have recovered 34 nickels in 3 trips alone. Today finished first half of the hill completely. Got a 74 Kennedy half, 41 wheatie, bicentennial quarter, a casino token and 73 more coins. Today I gridded 10 x 10 areas using small utility flags and worked very slowly... The half was 5.0 down, the wheatie 6.0 Hopefully the other side is as good! :) I have included a picture of "Nickel Hill".

Now that's a LOT of nickels from one area!!!

I don't have a "nickel hill" around me that I know of. One of my huntin' buddies found a "Wheatie Tree" when we were detecting a yard once. There were over 40 Wheaties all around a big white pine tree and one silver roosie. My guess is that kids were climbing the tree and hanging upside-down on the limbs.

I'm still looking for "seated grove" but have thus far been unsuccessful.

Congrats on the cool huntin' spot!!!

Look which team you are rooting for now! Made a little change! ;D :D



You sneaky bugger!

OK go Bears!!!

a little reverse psycology...
like when I place a bet. I suck so bad at it, I pick the team I think will win then bet the opposite. ;D

I quit betting years ago...I tried that also....nothing worked for me....

I bet that half suprised you when you saw the reading!!!

Good job on your finds!!

Thanks..the half came up as a quarter! Maybe because of depth...

I have to work very hard to find any older coins....even with gridding I was only able to pull the one deep wheatie and the half. As far as coin trees....I have had memorial cent trees...over 40 on surface at once...and a dime tree 16 in a row. No other trees....but I see a lot of people who have an opportunity to hit some type of concert grounds have some great days with quarters!
 

Thanks everyone for the responses...
