And, the bank is till paying some dividends.
My buddy and I put in 5 hours on the bank spot this forenoon and while our clad and cents take was off from some previous hunts, we still garnered over 100 coins between us. I got 43 modern coins and then the 7 older varieties along with a small silver ring. The ring passes the silver test, but I highly suspect it is only plated.
The vast majority of coins came from another area that we hadn't yet hunted all that hard. We both started out with the 5" coil and as quite a few of the coins had some depth to them, my buddy switched to his Fisher 5 x 10 DD. I stayed with the small coil the whole hunt. One signal I had was bouncing from the low 80's up to 90/91. Thinking maybe a bottle cap, but curiosity got the best of me and I dug it. From about 5" I recovered a clad quarter. Gave the coil a quick sweep back over the hole and dirt and got a weak high tone. From about another 2" deep I recovered the 2nd of the 2 Washington quarters I dug today. The 1924 Mercury promptly followed back to back wheat cents early on in the hunt. The Washington's were 32 and 37 and the wheat cents 26, 40, 42 and 57. We plan to hit the spot again in the morning.
