I found my 70th IHP for the year on July 1st. Have not been out in the fields since until today. The harvest is in and some of the fields have been disced already. The one I hit early this year that yielded 7 large cents is one of them. I hit that for about four hours this afternoon and scored four coins. The newest is 1870. It's not so much that the discing brought up deeper coins as it is it separates them from the iron.

First up was a first year Fatty IHP, an 1859 (take note, E-Trac. There are still some out there). It's in poor shape, but I can read the date. Next up was an 1870 shield nickel. Then I got back to back two cent pieces, an 1864 and an 1865. First time I've ever done that.

All in all I am happy with my first day back in four months.

wow, great haul. love all those coins and still looking for my first "2" center. wtg! btw, you'll have to reset the date on your camera or we'll think you've been sandbagging for 13 years 🤣
 

You did very well! Those are some nice old coins. I love finding the 2 centers. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it should be a celebration! Congrats!
 

Fantastic finds! Congratulations! Maybe you need to get out there with your detector more often. I know I do. Thanks for sharing.
 

How exciting
Congratulations on your success
 

Nice! Love digging those 2-centers. In fact, I also once dug 2 cent pieces on back to back signals.
