That's the way it is sometimes... You hit a spot with some nice finds, in this case, some awesome finds, and the rest of the area...zero, but you were fortunate enough to dig two very nice finds.... WTG. The same happen to me when I dug my first gold coin, a 1911 21/2 dollar Indian Head, nor far from the gold coin, funny... a Barber Quarter, Dime, two early Mrecs, an Indian Cent. After that in the whole aera around that tree... nothing... HH.

My son & I received permission to detect around a 1904 house in the small town of Dorena Oregon today. After only digging a couple targets I dug a 1868 $10 Gold coin! Then just inches away in the same hole I found a 1912-S Barber Half dollar. But then we detected for three more hours and didn't find anything else old.
