Well, I walked over to the neighbors yard after work this past Tuesday for a quick little hunt. The house dates back the 1900 or there abouts. I've found mercs and rosie's there in the past. I like this yard because it is full of unusual stuff, and now the targets are a bit harder to find and they are usually pretty deep. It's a good way to practice finding those iffier signals.
The rosie at first only gave a good signal one way. I rotated where I was swinging the coil and the target cleared up a bit, however it was still a bit of a squawker. It wasn't until I cut the plug and started scanning with my X-1 that the signal cleared up. Though it was still ringing more like a clad dime than a silver one. I was happy to see a 1964D Rosie pop out. Interestingly enough it has a double die reverse variety. Can anyone confirm if mine is or not? Specifically I think I see some doubling around the "E" in "ONE" Let me know what you think.
I also did manage to find a 1956 D wheatie but I don't think it has the double mint mark. Though it looks like I need to clean it some more.
Lastly, I'm happy to finally find a lead army figure. I've always wanted to find one, it's too bad this one was KIA!
Thanks for looking.
