Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've posted a picture, but I just had to show you this lucky find. I obtained permission to hunt the yard of a home that was built in 1890. I started with the sidewalk strip and had been hunting for about an hour when I received a signal that was jumping between 7-26 and 10-28. Normally, at a park or school, I probably wouldn't dig this signal but since this was a private home I thought it was worth investigating. I was quite surprised to see the results after pulling this from 7". After separating the dime from the buckle, I rechecked each with the E-Trac: the dime read 12-44 and the buckle read 12-09.

---the rest of the hunt---
The remainder of the 2-hour hunt managed to produce two Wheats (1927, 1940-S), some clad, and miscellaneous junk. I'm looking forward to checking the rest of the yard to see if anything good turns up. I'll post some pictures if I find anything good.
Thanks for looking and good luck on your next hunt!
