I've been able to get out two times. I went to where I dug the LC and barber last week. Saturday, I dug two IHs. One is a 1864 IH. I think it's a 1864L. It's too worn to show the L. 1864L's have a pointed bust. Can someone tell me for certain that I have a L? Yesterday, I dug 2 IHs, 53 Rosie, and 54 quarter. The rosie came from a very trashy area which I want to go back through with the 5 inch. The last IH I dug last night was between 9.5 - 10 inches... measured with my digger and later verified. That's about as deep as I've seen a machine go in this park. The coin in the upper left was dug about a month ago at another site. I'd forgot all about it until I was taking images of the coins this morning. It's a Italian 5 Centesimi. I can't get a year on it. But, this style was made from 1861-1867. I wasn't sure what I had when I first dug it. Sorry for the long winded post. Thanks for looking!

Keep me charged up cause summer is coming......60's this weekend!!!
We've actually been hunting the site where those coins came from on and off for a couple of years. A lot of people consider the park hunted out. It does seem hunted out if you don't go slow. You rarely see anyone else there detecting. It's probably been 2 years since I saw someone else except my detecting partner. There are times you'll go there and not dig anything too good. Then there are times everything just clicks right. The last two weeks the the soil moisture etc. must be perfect... because I'm getting deeper coins than in the past using the same machine and coil. I'm starting to think kids now a days drop quarters like we dropped pennies when I was young. I've found more quarters on the surface in the last two weeks there than I ever have. I guess no one bends down to pick them up anymore.
