Went back to the old house again today.

Found another silver dime, roughly the same area as the first two:

A little closer to the house I found a flagpole mount. It's about 3" long with a diameter of about 1":

In the back yard near the driveway was this flattened tube cap; perhaps a lipstick cap?

Elsewhere in the yard was this large plated cake knife-type piece...

...and an older pewter spoon bowl:

The top soil layer has a lot of iron in it, much like all the soil in this area. I ran the 8x11 DD coil on full sensitivity for a bit but it was going haywire until I dropped 2 bars off the sensitivity. I was still digging stuff at 6-8" though so it was ok. The gnats are oppressive this year and they seem to be immune to Off! which is a pain in the ass bc idk what else to use. When I get back there I'll try the small DD coil in the back yard.

Nice finds! Congrats on your silver:icon_thumright:
 

Your Rosie dime has very nice detail. So a great find. After it rained here this evening I went back to the last place I hunted. I remembered to liberally spray myself with bug spray cause the mosquitos were REALLY THICK there last time. I happened to look down at one point and had two mosquitos on the tip of my ring finger and one on the tip of my pinky. Then saw one biting me in the shin RIGHT THROUGH THE OFF!!!
