hunted with some buddies on sunday afternoon at a very old farm, they has both already hunted there, so I was there to clean up what they missed.....lol :laughing9:

anyhow I had several wheats, then got a great silver reading and was for sure it was a silver dime, but out popped the little sterling ring. I was glad to see that!......got some more wheats, a real nice 1906 indian cent. Neither of them had found any silver here, but I managed to get a rosie and also a 1944 merc. No signals were good here at all, I could NOT go by VDI numbers at all, I was hunting by sound only, if it sounded good I dug it. For instance the indian bounced from 18 to 44 to 32, to 16 so on....but it sounded sweet from all around.

I walked around a larger tree and got a strong quarter signal at 3" I was expecting a clad quarter but much to my surprise among all the tree roots pops out a 1845 large cent....now keep in mind this was my first ever large cent and I was up doing the happy dance, you would have thought I just won the lottery...lol :hello2:

I was pretty excited to get all these coins out of a yard that had already been hunted. :laughing7:

Pays off often to dig those iffy, yet sweet sounding signals! :thumbsup:
