Back to an empty lot today for about 2 and 1/2 hours . Ive dug 5 silver dimes there 10 wheats. Tried my zero disc. mode on my GTI and it really seem to help me sort thrrough the targets better. $2.09 clad, the usual copper and brass scrap for me. I finally locked on a good nickel target there at 4 inches that turned out to actually be a nickel, A 1955 jefferson. The 1944 mercury dime was 7 inches deep and gave a faint signal but imaged as coin size. As I started digging the signal got better and i new it would be good. As some of this field has been filled in with rocky dirt it makes me wonder what the detector cant reach. also hit a 57d wheat about 4 inches from the nickel 3 inches deep. Cant figure out why its paper thin. The front looks legible. The back you can faintly see one cent w/ the wheat leafs. Its so thin however if the back was worn this much I would think nothing would be left. Maybe an error planchet, I could easily bend it with my fingers. From previous finds here it looks like these coins were lost in the 50s so I dont see how it could have worn so thin being a 57d. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Trying my new camera out for the first time. I sure hope theres an improvement on my pics.

I havent hit a buffalo or indian or silver quarter. Ive got 2 silver halves i found detecting. If we will just hit the right spot they will come. I forgot to mention the small flint tomahawk head. Looks like someone recently tossed this beside the road. Its sad that where its broke looks like freshly done. Probably would hate to hear the story on that one. HH everyone.
