Back with some pics of finds from a old homesite I just got permission on. Hunting about an hour and 1/2 after work before dark the past few days & it has been a great site. House dates to the 20's, and on my 1st short visit, I found a few wheats and a 53 Rosie. The wheats were 8 inches plus and you have to swing slow to hear the hightone "chirps" from the AT Pro.
Jumpy numbers as well. Second day, with that in mind, I slow WAY down listening to the deep chirps and find 10 more wheats and a 47 Rosie.
My last hunt I hit a good patch and scored four more dimes; 1919 D, & 36, 40, & 41 plain mercs and some neat relics. The old belt buckle is a "Giant Grip" design. Going back this evening in hopes of more stuff from there. Will update this thread if I find any more. The wheats were 1916 to 1950's.
Before anyone asks, yes, I clean my silver coins with baking soda, unless it dates older than 1935, has a mint error, or any real value over melt. I wouldnt sell them anyway unless its a expensive rare coin like a 16D merc etc or if silver jumps to 100 a ounce anytime soon. lol
