Hunted for about an hour here in Indianapolis yesterday and came away with .75 in pennies, dimes and one nickel. The nickel is a 1964 model. One of the dimes is a 1974 and another a 1976. No wheats on the pennies, but two or three were pretty corroded, so I'm not sure about them. I'm hunting a city park that has ball diamonds where the little league plays and concentrate on the areas where the parents put their folding chairs to watch. I've had some good luck around the concession area gravel also. I've hunted it about half a dozen times and as I learn more about the Xterra 505 I've got, I seem to find more coins. I'm very happy with it so far.

Good deal!
Now re-read Randy's e-book. You should learn a new thing or two each time, that you can incorporate into the next hunts.

I'm just using the stock coil. I don't seem to have the time I would like to spend on md'ing but you do what you can. I learn something every time I go out. I often carry the user manual with me and refer to it in the field if necessary. Download Randy's book and read it when you get the time. I have it downloaded and read and re-read parts of it all the time. I've only had my 505 for about a year and I'm getting more comfortable with it every time I go out.

Nice finds!!
Congrats on your finds. Have you tried to determine how old the park is? I have a park in my area that dates back to 1908 and in the beginning, found tons of clad but I got the 10.5 MF DD coil and raised my sensitivity and began to hunt more slowly and systematically and I began finding lots of wheats, 12 Indians, 3 Barber Dimes, Two Mercs, and 5 silver Rosies. Chances are, depending on the age of the park, you have some good stuff there.
