I had the opportunity yesterday to hunt the lawns around a late 19th cty. house in Lowell, MA. THe good news is I found my first Mercury dime, a beat up, real thin 1917 and a wheatie cent 1957-D among a bunch of junk ncluding a toothed gear and a rusted out 1/4 inch socket. The bad news was all the nails! Why do they show up as silver on the XS? I never ran into too many nails at the beach but being pretty new to dirt diving digging these rusted nails and screws has me scratching my head. ANy suggestions about how I can better use my hunting time and try to avoid nails? (Yeah, go back to the beach, Sandman!)
