Last few times out found a lot of odd finds. Found 3 shield nickels in two different places. Although they are toasted, they don't come up that often. Also came up with 2 more 2 cent pieces the same day. Makes 5 so far this year. A bit odd as it's more than I found over the last 35 years. Picked up a 1787 draped bust facing left CT yesterday. Obverse is a bit toasted, but the reverse isn't too bad. I've been detecting places that have really been pounded and picking up the tougher finds. Most of the silver has been found as it's the first to go, but I can't complain with what I found. A lof of these finds are on many bucket lists. Still think the CTX is an amazing machine. One of the guys with me on Saturday had an Etrac and picked up an Indian and V nickel. One was using a Deus and only found clad. That's when I found 4 Indians, 2 two cent pieces and one of the shield nickels. The 1860 British farthing came out the same day as 2 shield nickels, 2 V nickels and an Indian.
