Found Dirty Coins Makes A Grown Man Smile

The last couple of days I had some time to get out. Most of you know the feeling; "Where am I going this time?" I just decided to hit a regular "old ground" location I've literally pounded to death and I swore I would never go back to. Well, I had a little different strategy this time. Since I had pulled quite a few wheats out some of the ground there, I thought there had to be some more silver underneath. So, I ran in all metal tweaked a bit with my trusty 5" coil and I was quite surprised. I dug some iron and old nails at first then I got an iffy, bouncy signal repeating all over the scale. So I dug it. I'm using a nice shovel in this area so it was a good load of dirt. The merc was in the large plug about 8" into it. Just surprised the heck out me because I know I had been over that exact same location more then once that is for sure. It turned out to be an S mint and I have never found a 1916 one. I then got another bouncy iffy signal a foot over, the same depth and out she came, the buffalo. I shook my head. Next picked up the N.S. Meyer pin, the metal leafy thing and military button. I was very happy. I proceeded to find a few wheats after that but concluded for sure that all metal or relic for sure goes pretty deep. Then yesterday I visited an old park in Tacoma and picked up the 1896 Indian. Still had some time so I sheepishly headed over to this property the owner has given me permission to hunt. I picked up 3 silver coins out of it last fall. I figured, in all metal, maybe I missed something there too. The renters at this old house, seem to always kind of give me the dirty look; like why am I tearing up their grass. I wouldn't even call it grass but rather mowed down weeds and bunch grass, but whatever. When I'm done there you really would never know I was there. Anyway, I found the other two Indian Heads there. So a few old coins around here in two straight days does not happen very often for me. I have tried hunting before in relic mode and you can't use it in certain conditions for sure but I am going to use it now as often as I can and listen more for the deeper targets.
