I actually took 2 steps away before going back to dig

Been hunting a soccer field behind a Elementary School built in 65 or 66. This field has very deep top soil so the coins can really sink. Anyway I cleared most of the shallow coins last year. My last 4 hunts I've been hunting in creep mode for those deep ones. I'd say 75% of of them are six to eight inches Deep. Some call it a whisper. To my ears it sounds more like a squeaky sigh. That's when the hunter got to make the call to dig or pass. Listening to the X I can call Junk most of the time but you got to dig to be sure on some of them. Those dimes laying 6 to 8" down can be very faint. Back to the target I almost left. I came back and scanned it from different directions. Not overly deep but the signal had a distortion I haven't heard before. So I took a plug and up popped a Shiny 40% Silver 1967 Kennedy Half Dollar. Huh. Checking the hole got another hit. A 1971 Half with no Silver content. They were laying very close to each other but not touching. That silver laying near the clad coin made for a different signal. The X called me back to them. The two halfs in the picture are at the top. The clad one is going to take some cleaning. Got a wasit at the bottom of the picture. I have no idea. To the left, the usual suspects, Trash.

Sometimes That little voice tells you to go back and dig.
