Last Weekend Coin Finds

[jamesfrompa]

I'm new to metal detecting (2 months). I own a Garrett GTI 2500 and a Ace 250. I like them both. I own a lake house I bought about 2 years ago and found out last year that my property was the local public beach. A lady on the lake showed me some old pictures of their food stand that was on the property and people enjoying the beach. I was also told Indians we also at the lake. Last weekend, I brough my metal detector up to the lake house after I practice on my lawn for a couple of weeks at my home(over dollar in clad coins). I pulled 5 wheaties (1923 the oldest one) 5 clad pennies 2 mercury dimes (1927 and 1943) 1 silver dime (1946) 1 clad quarter 1 neat token that says on the front "Joie Chitwood Auto Thrill Show" with a picture of the guy and the back says "May Good Luck Accompany The Bearer Always" with a picture of a Indian head. The coins were deep between 4-7in. in the ground. I did pull a few deep pull tabs! I have a lot of ground still to cover and a lot of deep signals. I am getting the 12.5in. coil for my GTI 2500 and hope to seek out more deeper targets. I enjoy looking at other people finds. Below is the coins I found at the lake house. I hope to find some older ones soon.
