After doing some research found a spot where a wealthy family had a house in the early to mid 1800s. There was a school house in the same area and it has been moved a bunch of times due to flooding but is still standing today. Pretty sure I found where the house was due to the square nails and a couple of relics. Hit it twice with the CTX and 17 inch coil to try and cover a lot of ground and find where all the nails are then went back over it with the nox and standard coil and popped this out of a plug. Unfortunately pretty worn but that's ok

Very nice! I would have no problem finding a worn Half Dime and it seems that it was common practice to "hole" them back in the day.
What part of the country are you in?
