That is some great finds, I sure wish I could find some old silver coins but Vegas is mostly new. I will be looking at some places for silver coins this fall and I plan to do some relic hunting at old abandoned mines for mining relics. I love my x-terra
Keep up the great research and finds.

Hi great finds congrats we got the xterra at almost the same exact time do you mind sharing what mode you like to search in Coin #1 or #2 perhaps- great job

1857 would not be an Indian, unless it was a pattern. Is it a Flying Eagle, or maybe you misread the date?

Thanks Hawkeye
I use All Metal with sensitivty 20-25 usually and then lower it if I find a target and look for consistent ID and location . Threshold is usually about 16 or 17. Hope this helps.

Great finds Pilot....you seem to have gotten familiar with your 705 in a very short time. Can I ask where you normally hunt?? I am particularly interested in where you found your indians. I have found 13 so far and all in older parks. I normally only find clad in school yards.

Chuckciao...found them when they tore up one city block of cement on main street. Found two indians and a 1911 wheat in about 2 hours. Went back later in the day to search the other side of the street and two other guys from another town were detecting on that side and together they found 2 indians and a 2 cent.None of the coins we found were in very good shape though. Found my 3rd indian on a boulevard in an older part of town. Still not in very good shape but better than the coins from main street. I haven't had any luck in the parks.

Pilot,
a lot of parks are fairly modern and contain only clad at best. If you can determine that the park is fairly old, I would suggest hunting it very slowly and methodically. I am sure you will find at least, some wheaties.
