I took my new Garrett Carrot out today. First 2 houses I went to, no one home. :BangHead: I looked to a nearby house, both the husband and wife were on the front porch enjoying the day. I moseyed right up to the porch, started some small talk about the great weather. After a few minutes of chatting I then asked if I detect their property. Got the go ahead :icon_thumleft:. This is a corner lot, so I started on the tree lawns along the side yard. Soon I decided to hunt the yard behind their house, it is only 2.5 ft wide and maybe 15 ft long, it butts up against the neighbor's driveway. I then started the side yard when my gut told me to go back behind the house. I only dug one more coin from that area and it was a bucket list find, an 1864 2 Cent. :headbang: It was the only good coin I dug today and was only 4 inches deep. The 2 wheats were dug at depths between 7 & 8 inches in the side yard.

I plan on going back and finishing up the last 30% of the yard tomorrow. I ended up digging $4.51 in clad. It sure felt like someone planted a lot of pennies trying to grow penny trees I guess. :dontknow: None of my plugs gave up more than one coin. I dug 113 items (as shown in the pic) and an addition 51 plugs yielded trash.

Way to go on the bucket list find, I'm still looking for mine. That's quite a haul of coins from a yard. Hope tomorrow is as good for you.
