Hello All!
Saturday was great weather to get out and detecting... As well, the ground had some moisture in it from Earl that ran though on Friday... So I headed to the spot I was at on Thurday in Mass...

Video for this hunt:
[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R718ykaKn6c[/video]
I had a a 1911 Wheat to start the hunt off and my 2nd good target I recover was amazing... I was battling crazy EMI as you will see in the video, but this target was sounding great and was not what I expected at all...
I was getting souns in the 6-7" range that were sounding off @ 12/47... As I dug in... they were hitting 12/47, but seemed to settle more in at 12/45... Pinpoint and popped out a large copper...
I could see this one was counterstamped... and if you look at the reverse side... you can see that semi-circle... It was not immediately obvious to this noob, that there was another target in the ground... I was using the probe to check depth as you will see in the video and head the 2nd target
Neither are in great shape overall... but hey TWO COPPERS IN ONE HOLE! and... I had only been there about 10 minutes... One is an 1851, and you can see the 18XX on the other...
Next target was a fait whisper that there might be a recoverable target... and with the EMI I was gambling... Well... Turned out to be my 3rd copper early into the hunt...
Next up was a decent signal without 4 other undesirable targets around it... bouncing between 12/43 and 12/47...
Hello 1917 Mercury Dime... (Silver Coin # 80 for 2010)
Next was another Dime signal... maskerading a wheat penny signal 1915 S Barber Dime..
Next 12/45 shallower target was my next silver... 1946 Roosevelt Dime... for the Dime Trifecta...
Next silver as well had ona 12/44 costume... 1920 Merc with a nice patina
The 5th Silver out was a 1950 Roosevelt Dime... (Silver # 84 for 2010)
It was an amazing detecting day...
HH ALL!
