Off work today and was hitting a bunch of spots I know of. I went to an old school house I hit a few times so far with my ETrac and decided to pull the AT Pro out of the trunk. I had hit this place a few times, once with Tylerope (from the forums here), and we found a lot of wehaties and he hit a sweet Merc dime when we were there.
AT Pro with the stock 8 1/2x11" coil, ProMode, Disc = 0 , Iron Audio = on , Sens = 2 bars down from max ....
Within 5 minutes I got a penny-dime 80's signal about 4" down. I dug my V-cut with my Lesche digger and flipped the plug over. Hit the plug with the Pro Pointer... nothing. Hit the hole with the Pro-Pointer and 'vrrrrrrrr!'. As I was pulling the loose soil out of the hole I saw silver! I picked up a Seated dime and was like 'WTF is stuck to it?!?' ... pulled it off the dime and had a second coin and saw another fall back in the hole! I had a 1901 merc dime that was sandwiched between an indian head penny and then picked up the rough indian head out of the hole!
3 coins stuck together! How does that happen?!?!
Those 3 sandwiched coins were hidden in SO MUCH iron and garbage that I was SOOO surprised the AT Pro sounded off on them. This area directly aroudn the school house is so iron infested that when you dig a hole you get 'hits' all over with your pinpointer from nails and other iron that soaks the ground.
During the next hour I ended up hitting a decent amount of clad and a wheater and a 1942 CANADIAN penny, which was intersting. Is that Canada's version of our wheatie?
