Headed East to NW Ohio and Northern Indiana to spend a weekend driving town to town and hunting sites I researched or hunted previously. 1st stop made the whole weekend! Hunting a town square in Somewhere, Ohio I pulled up a ton of signals, including a few big silver coins. I started with a 1942 Walker and then 4 Quarters - 1853 Seated, 1892O Barber, Slick Stander, and 1945 Washington for a Quarter Grand Slam!!! 
I'm still stunned by the amazing amount of luck involved in that achievement!! Also found an 1867 2 Cent Piece, Barber Dimes, Mercs, Roosy dime, silver ring, a few Indians and other keepers! What a start to a Road Trip! This square had been hunted pretty good, but most of my targets came out of very minerallized and iron infested ground around 1 side and my Explorer did good sniffing them out.
Here's the finds from just this first site:
I spent the rest of Saturday, Sunday, and Monday covering other sites and added many more goodies to the finds total. 3 days and 1,400 miles later I had a nice haul to tote home!
Here's the Tribe of 19 Indians including a key date 1867:
This is the 20 pieces of silver found:
Here's the other coins... 1867 2 cent piece, 63 wheats - one stamped with a Masonic logo - 4 V Nickels, a nice 1854-1904 50th anniversary Medal from U.S. Express Co.:
Here's some other odds and ends and jewelry:
Here's the grand total for the finds:
Thanks for looking, take care and HH, Mike.
