Well I must be getting better

[Truffleshuffle]

Well On my third digg I must be getting better I pulled all coins today even though they were all penneys from the 90s at least there was not any junk lol. I had one real good reading in the 50c section but I am not sure about the reading so I didn;t dig. Its real close to the driveway and the driveway makes my detecter to go off but that one spot is the only spot that has that high of a reading even when walking the driveway.

sounds like your confidence is up, and your'e finding what your'e looking for, but i would warn you that you shouldn't stop digging those junk signals.
if you get into a good site, your'e going to be missing 90% of the action.

Be sure to dig that 50 cent reading. i had one about a few feet from my house steps. I dug up a nice 1945 walking half. Hope you do the same. Good luck.

Well my friend, even as much as everyone curses the much maligned pull tabs and can slaw, griping and complaining about finding and diggin up so many of them when we are detecting, they are good indicators. If you're finding pull tabs and such, you KNOW that people have been in that spot, which also means that there are other things to be found, like coins and jewelry and other treasures. Nothing wrong with pulling a few tabs and such from the dirt, you'd be surprised by how many of those "pull tab" signals turn out to be rings, gold and silver! As for the detector going off over a spot on your driveway, like someone else pointed out, it's probably rebar embedded in the pavement. Most any cement or concrete pavement, driveways, sidewalks, patios, "utility pads" and guttering for roads and rainwater run-off will have the rebar in it as well. Fortunately most rebar is mostly Iron, so you can discriminate it out. I do this because I detect right up alongside of sidewalks and pathways... You'd be surprised at how many coins you will find right up next to the pavement.
The best way to learn is by doing though, so get back out there and keep "learning". It's a great hobby, the only one I've ever had that PAYS me to play... Good luck, and ....

Frodov: I have the same thought every time I dig one. I just hope it's coinage (or at least something other than slaw or tab). But every once in a while you get the good stuff. Keep diggging and you'll never know what you'll get.
