I've done the same with our yard, 1902 house on corner lot. Lots of Indian heads, barbers, Buffalos and newer. I should go look at my records and see if I was reasonably astute, probably not. But like you every new detector, new coil, and even with the same detector can yield new finds. And target masking is the issue. Even gridding doesn't get them all, because many coins might only give a signal at 46.3 degrees and none from any other direction, or none at all. I believe we are missing more targets than we find.
Hope some day to do a dig and sift of an area that I've hit with every detector and coil that I own, see what is left. Last year I dug up some shrubs on either side of the front entry where I was residing. Of course I took a detector and was rewarded with a very nice IH. But being right next to the house nail city. Think I will give it a try with my old Compass before digging and screening everything.

I tell ya what,if you ever get to the point of that whole sifting thing I wanna help! I've actually wanted to do that for some time with just a small 5x5 or 10x10 square of someplace I've hammered but those places won't be available to do that,except.....one old farm site. We'll have to talk this spring about that.
