I detected for 5 1/2 hours today. I began where I found most of the coins in the last week, but I'm just goin over the same ground
and the coin hits are quickly disappearing.Later, I spent some time hitting the outer edges of this spot and had some success.
For the day I found 18 coins
3 wheaties
4 nickels
2 silvers & the rest mid 60's clad
The good news was that one of the silvers was big and a first for me
Because of where I was and the age of the coins I was finding, I was hoping to get a Franklin half since I'd never found one before.
Well, at just 2 inches under ground I got a solid half dollar signal and in no time I was lookin at this.

Here it is cleaned

This area has a couple foundations, lots of rock walls and rock piles, so I wasn't completely surprised when I found this.

Can you see the "one cent" ? It's too corroded to get a date, but I believe it's the "braided hair" variety 1837-1857
Here's everything

Here's the good stuff
