Howdy,
I figured why mess with a good thing, so went back to the site that's been producing for me. Good signals are getting harder to find. Now it's a balance of moving slowly enough to sniff out the masked targets, but quickly enough to cover enough ground to find something.
Got a Wheat first, and then hit an iffy signal. I convinced myself that there was enough of a signal surviving a 90 degree turn (or close enough) that it was worth investigating. I've been trying to hold out for signals that show at least some life when turning the coil, because my luck with signals that null after any rotation has not been good (mostly nails it seems). I do spot check a few that sound really good even though they null on rotation, just to sanity check, but it's been pretty consistent so far. Anyway, this one gave me some signal during the turn, although a bit broken up. I opened the plug, checked with the probe, and was getting mostly a null, but there was some chirps. I thought I had another fine nail, but thought I'd try a couple more scoops from where it pinpointed. I saw a small rusty button come out on the second scoop. Checked that with the probe, and sure enough, it nulled. I then rechecked the hole and this time I got a nice tone and at that point figured it was an Indian Head (based on depth and tone). Another couple scoops, and out pops a sharp one. Good details, with just a little crud on the front, back is very nice.
Moved on a bit more and got a few deep-ish Memorials that had shots at being silver. Got another one that was iffy on the depth side, but this one went my way and it turned out to be a Roosie instead of a Memorial. Always glad to see silver. This the Roosie I needed last week to fill out a trifecta during a previous hunt. Oh well.
Wrapping up the hunt I got a hit that I thought was going to be another Wheat. Or I wouldn't have been surprised if it was a Memorial I guess. But I was surprised when another Indian Head came out. Sounded higher than usual. I rescanned the hole, and it didn't have help hiding in with it, so guess it just was higher.
Anyway, that was it for this outing. Thanks for looking.

Nice finds. How did you get those indians to clean up so nice?
I have yet to find more than one injun on a single hunt. One of these days.
