Green Indian and Wheats In All Metal

[miserman]

I went back to the woods today to try different settings. I hunted with the F75 in Motion All Metal Mode. I was able to crank Sensitivity up to 95 and it still ran quite stable after Auto Ground Balancing. Keeping an eye on the numbers I stopped and investigated any number in the 50's. If it jumped into the 60's after I zeroed in on it,I would dig it. I was able to find a green crusty 1872 semi-key date Indian Head that bounced between 64 and 67. Then 1918-d and 1927 Wheats that both rang up 67-69. The coins were 6-7 inches deep with a cover of leaves of another 2 inches. The All Metal Mode is a good choice when hunting areas that don't have a lot of signals. I was fooled a few times by .22 shell cases but by digging only 60 and above targets ,the hunt was quite enjoyable. Should be a Barber or two in the area...Thanks for looking

That Indian Head penny has probably been in the ground for over 100 years, real nice find. I agree with what your thinking, there should be some silver in an area where coins are coming out that old.
