Last weekend, I stopped at a farm market stand at an older home, asked permission and started detecting the front lawn. The area is filthy with clad, so I spent most of my time removing coins and trash from the surface to a 6" depth last Sunday afternoon and yesterday afternoon. Last weekend, I dug $2.50 in Quarters, $1.50 in Dimes, 1 Nickel and $0.36 in Memorials. I also managed a deep 1864 Indian head penny, 1948 Roosevelt dime and 1945 and 55 Wheaties.
Yesterday afternoon, I removed $1.50 in Quarters, $0.90 in Dimes, $0.30 in Nickels and $0.43 in Pennies. Now, I just getting to the point where I can hear the deeper signals. The older coins were 1940, 1941, 1944 and 1953 Wheaties (not photographed) and silver.
