Got a new permission yesterday and it things went good, not a lot of hits or trash in the yard.
My first decent hit was a a 79-80, flipped a plug and had a 1817 Matron head. Sent the kid a text and he said he'd be ready in 20 mins. LOL
After we got back I had a good hit but, sounded like there was also iron in the hole, 42 Washington.
Five minutes later the kid gets himself a 1920 merc.
We found some wheats and a couple odds and ends, not a lot of trash or anything in the yard. I got a good 85 to 87 screaming hit but, sounded like it was straight under a huge root on the surface. Turns out it was laying between the roots just below the surface, another Matron head we think is a 1830 something.
While the kid was around the side yard I was out back close to where the two silvers came from. Got another screaming hit, 94-95. Thought for sure a piece of copper pipe or big brass piece. Flipped a plug and had a v-nickel in the hole. No way that v-nickel was throwing that signal off. Searched the hole again and still had that 94-95 hit.
Another look around in the hole with the pinpointer and BAM!! BIG Silver!! 1903 Barber Half...
Only other worthy find was a 1909-D barber dime the kid found.
Almost forgot, I found a cadet button with some Awesome gold gilt still on it.

Awesome score deershed. :headbang: That place is giving up the goods. Seven keeper coins & an old button, I'd take a hunt like that any day. Glad to read that you hunted with the boy.

Thanks LD!!
After getting that first large cent and knowing the kid was sitting home doing nothing, I knew he'd be ready for a hunt if I texted him. LOL
It worked out nice with us both finding some silver too, doesn't happen too often. The surprising part was I hit the big silver and not him. It's always the other way around with him finding the big silvers.
 

WOW, what a hunt. Congratulations
