Well 2 weeks ago I found 2 large cents and lost one somewhere in the woods, I went back today and miraculously I found it near a hole I worked on for 20 minutes. I was psyched to find it again and did some more swinging. I found a 1700's 1/2 reale that is in bad shape, a great 1836 Capped Bust half dime, and a fairly worn 1842 seated Liberty half dime. All in all it was a good hunt today.

Some silver today with safari

I love the old coins, good job
Thanks guys. I was running in custom coin mode, using the settings outlined in Andy Sabisch's book. The safari is a very "chatty" machine, and this is what frustrated me the first few times I used it because I dug everything, make life easy on yourself and dig the clean, clear "repeaters". Just because you are scrimming out iron doesn't mean you won't get chatter when passing over it. the reale, seated and capped bust came out of the same hole! And there was one old shotgun round 2 feet away so i'm assuming a hunter sat there and lost his pocket change. They were all about 5 or 6 inches down and the numbers bounced cleanly between 36-38. No better feeling than pulling an old silver, re-scanning hole and getting another, and then another!
Well here's the LC that I lost and found again... it's odd they put 4 cuts on the rim and poked small holes just in front of the cuts. Today I went out to scout a new area that had promise but it became evident it had been hit hard before, I managed to find a barber dime but that was just a more recent drop as the area I was swinging had cellar holes from the late 1700's. I've only had this machine for 2 months and so far I've pulled, seated quarter, seated half dime, capped bust half dime, reale, king george IV, 2 LC's, and a barber dime, not to mention some cool relics, buttons, etc. That's more quality finds than a the year I spent with my last detector. I think the biggest problem with the safari is its chattiness, once you figure out the good signals from the bad it will work wonders. I probably got over 100 signals today and dug about 7 targets.
