So I went out today to play in my new sandbox. I took my homemade sifter toy with me. The other day I found 4 large cents and a capped bust dime using the F75. Today I found 4 more coppers, half reale. pewter button and tombacks. Nothing like sifting in sugar sand!!:hello:

I've screened for arrowheads/Indian artifacts many times but this is the first time I've seen coins screened. Awesome! Gary

Nice setup, cool saves, congrats on all
 
The sifter is 2'x2'. It works really well in sandy soil. I made a back pack sifter that a little bigger and has rollers but 2' is a good size. You would be surprised as to how much more is past the detector limits. 3' or more it's common to find good coins. Before filling in the hole I detect the bottom and sides and usually get even more. Plus, I get the Indian artifacts for an extra perk. It's tough work but well worth it!!
 
Nice sifting indeed, great job!
