i got permission to hunt a small patch of ground that used to be an old carnival ground. it had been bulldozed 20 yrs ago to make way for a carwash and convience store. theres only about a 80 sq ft area that it looked like maybe it could be close to original ground as could be. it had been pounded hard in its earlier days but i thought id give it a try anyways. its been along time since ive heard the sweet sound of silver. but in a couple hrs i managed a 1959, 2, 1957 dimes, 1953 quarter a half dozen wheaties from 45 up AND 41 WALKING LIBERTY AND A 41 D WALKING LIBERTY!!!! it was unbelievable. there seems to be more but i covered it quick so as not to be to noticed. i found them with the super 12 deepest was around 6 inches. just when ya think things arent workin right up pops the silver.!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait to get back with the smaller coil to pick between the junk. gotta love the v3i
