My buddy and I were given permission to hunt a 1779 house on the south shore- lots of EMI and mineralization made it very difficult- had to turn the sensitivity WAY down. First decent signal turned out to be my first shield nickel in quite a while- appeared to be 1866 or 8, until the dirt dried, flaked off and took the date with it! Next was an 1889 Indian, very worn and not worth a pic.
Got a real nice signal near a tree, but it was almost totally covered by thick roots, so after leaving much skin behind I finally nabbed an older wheat penny at 6"- very depressing
. Just a few feet away, however; karma rewarded the previous effort with 2 silvers, just a foot apart, and only a few inches down- 1931 Merc & 1936 Washington. Also nabbed a pretty cool button on the back side of the house.
All in all, not a bad day..
HH All!
