3 coins in 3 hours with a "helper"

Seems like deja vu without a spoon lol. Although this was at a different park on the other side of town. This time I had a "helper" from nature. I will work backwards with my story. At the end of my hunt, I see this little chipmunk running his little legs off along the roadside heading towards the old stone stairs that empty into the woods. ( I still have to figure out why these stairs just empty into the woods, obviously something use to be on this hill) But chippy knew I was coming up behind him so he took off into the woods. At the top stair and off to the right, I see his little hole that he dug. I turn on my detector and scan over chippy's hideout and BAM! 180 on the meter and with audio blaring. So I lightly brush chippy's little dirt pile with my finger and right on top was a 1928 penny! The little guy dug it up for me lol Of all times, I wish I had my camera with me today.

The one-way -> 1924 Mercury dime was right on the old stone wall mixed in with some iron trash. once again, I lifted up the back of the coil and did the tippy toe and managed to get about 70 degrees around with a steady signal and audio. This area is an old swimming hole from 1914. This is another "beaten-to-death" park and although many have graced the park with their detectors, it was the GT that sniffed out this "hidden" silver dime.

The other penny is from 1944.

Did I ever tell you how much I love my GT? lol

Hey Jim,
Sounds like you did indeed find a digging buddy!!
From the posts you have been making lately, I believe you have some very good spots that have some nice coins that have
been left by others, but I think you are going to thin them out with the Sovereign.

That is what I love about this machine and the iron mask feature.

I checked the area at the top of the steps really well and nothing else besides the 1928 penny that chippy dug for me. Now that I know there were other things on this property (back in the 1830's -way before the park) I am hoping for something older than a merc. I'll just have to get out and hit this place harder to find out.
