Finds are from the last few hunts from researched public parks and schools. Machine used was all Minelab eTrac.
Even though it is worn, I am glad the last digit is still legible on that SLQ so I could Id it being a key date. The coin was part of a nice old pocket spill I hit last weekend.
The old spill had a 1923s SLQ, 1929 SLQ, 1943 Mercury dime and a 1912 V nickel! The nickel pulled the target tone down to a flat wheat penny like sound.
The target seemed a little bigger and I thought it might have been a screw cap but I chased it anyway. Coins in the spill were about 7 inches deep.
About 15 feet from that fun, I hit a nice signal through some of the trash and thought it may be a half before I dug it.
Sure enough, a 1923 Walker @ about 11 inches deep.
That was an old pocket spill that made my day.
Thanks for Looking!
