After digging almost 600 coins, I think I found the right spot. Hunted for about an hour with my landstar, and found a 1917 wheat, a 1950-s wheat, a 1942 wheat, and a 1958-d wheat! Along with that, found 5 memorial and one recent dime. The area was the site of a long gone motel, and with all of the rain we have had lately, most of the area was under puddles, so I only got to hunt a small portion. I'm really optimistic about this location! I can almost smell silver!!

Very good, don't let the grass grow under your feet now. 
Thanks for sharing the picture.Oh, I'm itching to get back out there... couldn't go today, and tomorrow it is supposed to rain/snow. (almost at the florida line, and it's going to snow... think it has something to do with me wanting to go beeping!) I'm going to wal-mart and buying some rubber boots... there's good stuff under those puddles, and I'm not going to wait for them to dry. Hoping to get at least an hour or two in Tuesday. I'll let ya know how it goes.

You've been bit something bad by Copper
. The treatment will require much of you to be vigilant while swinging that coil and will be rough. A find of Silver though will be the potion for your only cure.

Where there is wheat there is silver

Well, I did make a short trip back yesterday morning, and got about an hour of hunting in. It seems that when the batteries get a little bit low (not low enough for the low battery indicator to come on), strange things start happening to the TID on these things. I dug 12 coins, and all were zinc memorials. The strange part is that every one of them showed as pulltabs or foil. Never got a signal for the dime/penny on what the wheats were hitting. I came home and checked my batteries, and they were both at about 7.5 volts. I put fresh batteries in and went to my test garden, and the TID was accurate. I put down some of the coins that I had just dug, and they showed properly as well. Then the rain came, so I didn't get to go back yet. But when I do, I plan to dig everything that isn't iron!

Different dirt. Longer burried coins (?). Slightly sifferent readings.
