All this was pulled from my apt. building yard, the lot/house next door, a friends house a block away, and the grass strip between sidewalk and curb on 2 blocks. Had major street repairs going on. Three and a half months after getting my first Metal Detector and after a week or so of practice with a Garrett Pro Pointer my plugs were finally down to as small as I can get them. They went from 2 ft by 2 ft by 15 inches deep......to 4 by 4 inches and only as deep as it takes. So I went public....hit my first park....just clad and keys but fun. Glad I practiced on private lots.

Thanks to BK for showing me some tips and showing me a pinpointer is a must need item.

Just came in from about an hour in the front yard......results:

a 1927 Merc dime(my second one now)
1936 wheaty
1939 wheaty

7 lincoln's
1 Chucky Cheese Token 2010

The clad seems to be 1 to 3 inches down...kinda trashy too but there is some older goodies under the fluff.
This is a pretty small area and I've been hitting it for 4 months. Took the easy ones first...the ones with the sweet high tones. The old ones are at about 6-7 inches. I wonder whats deeper.

Well...thank-you much! I used to live up in the East Central area. Grew up there. Cambridge/Isanti.

I'm about two months into it with my first detector and I know exactly what you're talking about! Have to get out there as much as possible before the snow flies!
