Went out yesterday. Picked up 6 silver dimes and 45 wheats plus a handful of assorted coins and tax tokens.
I would get a signal that said coin, flip the plug and then nothing. Sometimes if I stomped the plug flat it would be in the plug. Usually if I get a signal and open the hole and the signal goes away it means nail or bottle cap but these were good, coin sized signals so I scanned the hole with my pin pointer and sure enough there's a wheat in there. I've had this happen a couple times before but yesterday it happened quite a bit.
For you guys that are new to this, don't fill your hole back up and move on, check it. If its junk, then oh well, but don't leave a good coin behind.
Not certain why this is happening. The part that brothers me most is not getting a signal in my plug, especially after flipping it over. That puts the coin so much closer to the surface and my 705 isn't picking it up?
