I finished the yard I started Sat.

[Mark in S.E. IA]

Sunday I finished the yard that I started working on Sat and I found a 42 Washington Quarter, "2" rosies, a 58d, 59d, 16 wheat's, a clad HD, and 2 keys. From that yard I found a total of 7 silver coins and 38 wheats and a Buff.

After that I went down the street to do a quick check of the next yard to see if it's going to be any good and it's going to be a good one. I went back and forth across the lot and I would move over a good 6 foot everytime I made a pass. I was swinging the coil at a 1 sec. swing speed and I was not coming anywhere close to over lapping my swings. I just wanted to do a quick check of this place. I was there for about 2 hrs and that was a lot longer then I planned on being there because I had other things I wanted to do Sunday. In that 2 hrs I found "2" Merc's a 42d, 45, "23" wheat's and a toy car. It's a Aston Martin #53, Made in 1958 in England by Lesney toys.

For the day I found 39 wheat's, WOW. I'm up to 162 silver coins for the year and I'm getting real close to having my best silver year yet.

X-505 with the 10.5 DD 7.5 coil, Pattern 1, 4 tones, GB at 38, Sen at 20 and most finds were 4" to 6" deep

That toy car is awsome, and in better shape than any I've found so far.

Hi Wayne, The first yard had very little trash and that was nice for a change. The second yard has a little more trash in it but still not bad. Since the ground at these yards are a lot more milder then most other areas around here I thought about putting on the concentric coil, but I have had that big coil on for 3 years now so I figured that the bolt and wing nut that connects the coil to the shaft is probably rusted together so I left the big coil on, LOL. Me and that 10.5 DD 7.5 kHz coil get along pretty good together. I don't care if I am in hot ground, mild ground, trashy ground, that's the coil I use.

Yesterday I went back to the second yard for a few hours and started doing a tight grid pattern and swinging slow this time. I found a 43d Merc, 21 wheat's, A piece of play money from 1949 and a silver ring. It looks like this yard is loaded with wheat's and not very many silver coins. So far from this yard I have founds 44 wheat's and only 3 silver coins. It's going to be over a week before I can get back to this yard because I am going to be out of town for the next week. Good Luck everybody, I'm looking forward to seeing all of your finds when I get back.
