Maiden hunt with my Garrett GTI 2500

[GoGoGopher]

Had a great hunt with the 2500 on Saturday Afternoon...It was a hot one, but I braved 2 hours to hunt a field I have hit many times with the old QXT Pro and the AT Pro...I was surprised at how deep the GTI 2500 found coins...The ground was like concrete and I was digging 6-8 inches and finding clad.
One hole was very weird..I found 6 wheats and a copper button on top of a square nail...Signal rang like a dime because of all the targets...I got to 8 inches with the opening of my hole only being 3 inches across, and I gave up...The ground was just too hard...I pulled the 6 coins, the button, and the nail, and called it quits and filled in the hole and marked it with a large rock...Hopefully I can go back and find more coins in the hole after it rains some...
Here is my take for the maiden hunt...Wheats dated 1912, 1938, 1939, 1946, 1949, 1953D, 1956 ... Also found 1976 memorial, and 1966 and 1967 dimes...

I did NOT get the Eagle Eye coil with the package

HH,

Update: I just noticed the face of a Russian man on the 1976 memorial...Spooky, seeing as the house that once stood here was owned by a Russian man who died and left a Widow who died about 10 years later, then the house burned to the ground when some kids started a fire that got out of control in the empty building...

Russian face on the coin? What?

Blow up the pic and that lone copper (1976 5th from the left, top row) has a full bust of a russian man with the furry hat and all...You can see the eyes, nose, mouth, face, and hat dead center of the coin, just like he took Lincoln's place...weird!!!

Weird!! I do see it. You have to really stare at it. And not too close to the screen.
Good Luck with the machine,

Nice package and nice haul. I've had a 2500 for 12yrs. Let me know how it goes with the Eagle Eye.. been thinking about picking one up.

I DID NOT get the Eagle Eye with the package...It would have cost me $100 bucks more that I just did not have...Too bad, as a new one will cost me about $280...

Looks like the same button to me...Mine was also found in a lot next to a school...Weird...
