Sounded good at the time....

I went back to the place I dug those seated dimes and Barber quarter yesterday. Found two more IH cents right off the bat. Followed by a silver Washington quarter, a silver Rosey and two early teen Wheats. Hoped to find more old silver, but that was not the case. But Indians are Indians and silver is silver. Oh, and a lot of trash.........Which brings up another subject that I think gets overlooked sometimes......... I can't speak for the others, but when I hunt for coins at old farmsites or homesteads, I dig a lot of trash as well. All of the items in this photo registered as a "diggable" target. And all were dug the past couple hunts. By diggable, I mean with a ferrous number between 11 and 13, and a conductive number that represented something that needed to be dug! In other words, one that would have kept me awake at night, if I hadn't dug it.

Again, I won't speak for others. But when I post up a pic of some nice old coins, that ain't half the story. For every old IH cent or silver coin I bring home, I also carry out a couple dozen pieces of trash. HH Randy

I agree,you never know unless you dig it,i dug a beautiful gold ring with an opal and rubies
at 12-10,a friend dug two class rings that came in at 12-20, and 12-27 also.
I have also dug pulltabs that registered all of those!

Nice finds by the way. Keep up the great work.

Agree with you almost 100% Digger. The exception I have is the FE numbers. I've now dug, in the last 2 hunts, 2 or 3 wheats, maybe an IH and I know 1 Merc (it was the very first coin that I've dug than went with a diggable one way signal but had a immovable Fe reading of 27; which is the limit I have in my discrimination pattern) that have ranged 17-23's. I for sure wouldn't pass 8 up to 17 on the FE side, if you've got a good 2 way signal.
