Romex wire fooled me last week not this week!!!!!

[cladkiller]

Hi All, well last week i was hunting an old house and did well there found my first SLQ and a few merc's one of which had a romex wire running thru the hole i dug found a nice merc off to the side of the plug, went back to the same house this weekend found a no date buffalo nickel and a few wheaties, swung my coil over a plug i dug last week and got a bouncy but warble signal, flipped the plug over and there was that romex wire, started to flip the plug back in and decided to probe the hole anyway just got a copper wire tone then i hit the plug man what a sweet sound , i guess i missed it last week there was two mercs in that hole, 1927 this one was, took a couple of pics of the hole and the merc in the plug, also picked a vaccination tag from 1947,
Thanks for looking and happy hunting !!!!!!!!
