I love that the very first coin I dug in my new yard was a silver. However I hate that I must dig a lot of this: junk.webp to find these:dirty.webp

Dug a small section of my yard today for an hour and managed these keepers, 1975 nickel, 1956wheat, 1892 V nickel! and the other items here: clean.webpthanks for looking and HH!!

I love your V nickel and feel confident you'll make some more great finds in your yard.

Thanks!, so far the notable finds from the yard are:

about 15 wheats
1952 roosie
1920 Merc
1907 IndianHead
1911 V nickel
1892 V nickel
 

v nickle! heck I would be happy for the wheatie at this point! and you even found silver! You should come to my place and try to even dig... the word dig here is a joke, more like a jack hammer spot or hammer and chisel. all that to find out it is trash, hoping it is a coin, even a stupid penny. yep, you have a pretty good spot my friend.

I know EXACTLY what you mean.... No such thing as "digging" here either. In fact when the machine goes off and it says 8" I always wanna cry. I just chip away at the top and remove the loose stuff out and continue down deeper. In fact every time my wife buys a new bush or plant and wants me to dig a hole for her I about have a nerviness breakdown.

Hey maybe that makes the good finds a little less deep?:dontknow:
 

Yes sir, I worked a 10x15 area today, slow n steady, slow n steady

Yeah, and then, down the road. You could take a square at a time and just strip off the top 12 inches. Sift that and start all over with the detector. :)
 

Very nice. So far my yard has given up a mercury dime, 2 clad dimes, 4 Lincoln cents and a pile of trash. Still trying to find the first nickel.

Nice finds and your detecting from home, now if someone paid you to do that you would have the perfect job, having fun! :headbang:

Yeah the house was built in the 1910s so it's neat to find a coin that pre-dates the home

Hey, a 1909 VDB "S" would qualify for that!
