I received the sniper coil for my 350 that I purchased from McDave today, so I took it out to a school that closed about 20 years ago. Wasn't looking for anything old, just wanted to try out the new coil. This thing will find tiny targets! Unfortunately, the old ball field that I was hunting was full of can slaw, so I decided to switch back to my DD coil and just pick up some clad. (The school opened in 1970, so I knew that I wouldn't find anything old) I was poking around in the back corner ball field, and not getting many signals at all. It was one of 4 playing fields, and this one was unkept. I finally got a dollar signal, and moved on. After digging about a million soft drink cans, I ignore those signals. After finally finding a couple memorial pennies, I decided to go back to the dollar signal and dig it. I have found a couple rings lately, and thought maybe it was a large silver one. I pinpointed the signal, and started digging. The ace was showing it at 8+ inches deep, but I expected to find the can at a couple inches at most. After digging about 8 inches, I finally started getting a signal with the propointer at the bottom of the hole. I kept digging, and at just a little over 10", out popped my first standing liberty quarter! No idea why it was there, and I have never found any history about the property before the school opened. Maybe dirt brought in from somewhere else when the school was built? Who knows.... I also found 10 nickels, 4 dimes, 12 pennies, and a ton of pull tabs. Everything modern except for the quarter. It's well worn, but it looks to be a 1929.
 
Nice coin. Your effort was rewarded. Keep at it Darren and let the Propointer finish the hole.
 
Great finds with the Ace 350.
And McDave is a super guy for selling you that coil.
He's going to miss it, unless he's planning on buying the new SEF 6 x 8 DD by Excelerator.
Again glad you got out for some fun.

Happy Hunting

Nice quarter ! I found two of those last year...a 1917-D and 1928. The silver washington quarter still eludes me though..

bruce1036.....You are right. When and if I buy a new coil for the Ace, it will be the 8 X 6 SEF..
 
Nice score bud. Those DD's will get down there to those deep ones and sniff them out. There could be more.

Yukon, I spent another 4 hours hunting today, and now you can see why I find so many nickels. (note my trash pile!) I did stumble on something a little strange today though... 7 nickels in one hole!! Found 27 memorial pennies, 7 nickels, one dime, and 4 clad quarters. Maybe the next trip will give up silver!
HH guys!
 
WTG. You don't see those quarters every day and that's not bad on the regular clad coins either. I would love to have a day like that. When you found those 7 nickels in one hole, did you get a bell tone or target larger than a coin signal? Just curious.
 
At first I thought it was a gold coin by the gold hue of the pics....good job! Nice depth on that little coil.

Fongu, the nickels were at about 7", and it was a bouncy signal between just below nickel, to nickel, to pull tab. (I was hoping for a ring!)
Alan, I wish!! If it had been gold, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to post it. I would have been laying dead beside it from a heart attack!!
