Pretty good day

[Coin Hound]

Went back to the school house. Nothing in the front yard. However, searched the side and came up with a 1942 merc and a few wheaties.The back is where the goodies are, but the owner's wife said no. Oh well.

ALWAYS search where people got out of their cars or buggies and headed for the door. That's where the coins are.


Folks, what is your wheatie to silver ratio. I was told that 6 wheaties to 1 silver was very good. I got three silvers in three outings--about 8 hours total. I have found 14 wheaties this year. That's 3/14 ratio.

Any comments, suggestions?

Sounds like a hot spot and you are doing well.

Sounds like a great place to search! Nice job! Thanks for the post!

i find 5 wheats for about every silver i find...
sounds like an excellent place to detect...

Nice digs. 6/1 ratio is decent, depends on the kinds of sites you are hunting. Years ago I was 10/1, a little under 6 right now, but need to redo the math again as I dug over 40 wheats and 11 silver in the past few days. I'm digging a lot more wheats though. I find using the E-Trac I can easily tell wheats from memorials and I'll always dig a wheat, but will leave shallow memorials when I get tired.
