Pictured are about a week's worth of hunt finds with the F 75 LTD2 DST. All recoveries were made using the 11" DD coil and good ole de mode, 85 & upward sen, no notch, 0 disc and 3H tones.
The first picture shows the clad and cents and some of the small trash items. I give any copper and brass recoveries to my hunting buddy as he sells the stuff and denotes the $$ to his local dog shelter. Although the pile doesn't show the coin breakdown, as we all know, the F 75 loves nickels. Excluding the 3 Buffalo's, the pile contains 18 nickels, the same number as dimes.
The 2nd picture is the goodies from this mornings hunt. This was on our old fairgrounds, of which, with all its iron and broken up asphalt is not kind to coins. 4 of the 6 wheats were from a small wheat coin spill. All 40's and 50's. The 2 Merc's are 1923 and 1943 and didn't come from to far away from where my buddy recovered a 44 Merc. yesterday. Also got a 37 Buffalo nickel this morning and got a 24 Buffalo yesterday. A few days ago I got a 1926.
The 3rd picture is of all the older coins during said hunting period. The 1916 Barber dime also came from the fairgrounds as did the other Mercury dimes and 1 of the Rosies. The 53d Washington and 64d Rosie came out of a older school yard in the Nashville area this past weekend. Not shown are about 2 dozen or so wheat cents and the oldest being 1910.
Along the way I got 1 small silver ring, a couple pieces of older jewelry, some old lead and the heart thumping 2 one hundred dollar bills. From about 10' away they sure looked real. Un-fortunately, they aren't. HH jim tn
