Gone 2 Sturgis for 2 weeks. Had a bad jones to go detecting. Went out Friday for about 3 hours until it got too hot. A bunch of older copper and clad, 1 wheat, 1 silver war nickel and a very tiny ring. You can see the size next to the wheat, hopefully. Lots and lots of trash for the little reward. I was useing the stock 9" coil here.
Today I went to a house that I have hammered hard. It sits across the river from where I work and I use to look at it every day for 10 years. Earlier this year I hit it hard. Pulled a ton of wheats and a few silver nickels and dimes out of it. No quarters. Havent had a silver quarter in close to 20 years, no idea why. Anyway, a month or so ago it caught fire and burned to the ground. I took the Digger coil to hit the back and side yards that were a can dump for this place. The side yard had a door out of the house that for 15 feet in a spray pattern was nothing but tin cans of all kinds. The old man that lived there must have opened the door and chucked his dinner out in the yard when he was done. Since the house burned, what was a trashy area, is now a hell hole. I didnt find any coins in these areas, and since I pretty much cleaned up the rest of the yard, I wasnt having much luck there either.
One good thing about the fire was that it burned the entire yard. All the scrub brush that kept me from detecting before was now gone. Didnt find much, but did get a nice coin spill, all stacked up nice and pretty.
2 1945 silver nickels, 1940 nickel, 6 wheats from 1926-1947 and a 1943 steel. It was stting on top of one the nickels and rusted it pretty good.
