I hit a permission house built in the 50's, I didn't expect much, maybe some wheats and a rosie or two. First signal within 5 minutes was a toasted war nickle about 4" down, that's a very good sign!! I hunted for the next 20 minutes and started pulling some wheats, I'm thinking silver for sure baby!! I had just started my second pass when I got a 12-33 on the Etrac, pulltab was what I expected to pull out, my jaw drop when the ring popped out, I knew instantly it was gold!!! Sweet, I would have been more than satisfied right there, but, there was more to come :) I dug a few more wheats and a bunch of clad when I was making my last pass in the front yard when I got the silver number, 12-46, oh yeah, silver dime on the way. 2" down I flip out a large black disc, the last thing on earth I expected today!!! It just doesn't get much better than that, silver and gold and everything was shallow, deepest coin was maybe 5" I hunted for the next hour and dug the junk jewelry, which was icing on the cake and 3 or 4 wheats and more clad.

Such nice stuff! Congrats. -Lisa & John
 

Isn't it funny? We think we know our machines sooooo well! And then, you get a pulltab that is a gold ring and a silver "dime" and it's a half dollar! LOL Makes one think, don't it.

Excellent hunt, congrats!
 

It's a little distubing to think about all the pulltabs I left in the ground. :censored:
