Finds are from a few city parks and schools from a Black Hills SD weekend vacation and a couple outings around home.
Temp in the Black Hills hit 101 degrees according to my car thermometer so I was close to the drinking water. Oldest coin from that area was 1900.
Indian head pennies are 1885, 1887, 1900. The 1885 was about 7 inches deep. The 1887 was a very deep fringe signal about 11 inches and I was lucky to snag that one.
Nickels are 1930, 1948.
Silver dimes are 1924, 1946, 1958.
The 1950s Safety patrol hat pin was about 5 inches deep and read similar to a nickel.
Coils used were the stock coil and 4.5 x 7.
