Feeling more cofident each time I go out detecting, I am finally warming up to my 70 and we are now working together as a team. Two houses down from mine is a vacant lot that I had been practicing in and learning about my detector. A recent ice storm had deposited a large downfall right in the middle of the yard, I had been all around it and all around the yard several times over each return visit still producing good finds (wheaties and clad), To my surprise one afternoon on my way home from work I noticed the downfall had been removed.Sweeping where the large branch had been laying I got a solid 38 @ three arrows deep, excited about the depth, I anticipated it being a wheatback, and it was, my oldest find yet a 1919 worn almost smooth, so smooth I figured it had been toted around till about the 40,s or 50,s when it went out of circulation. Filling the hole and patting the dirt back, The coil was swinging again, about 18 inches forward and I got a nice instantaneous row of solid hits, I can describe it as listening to popcorn popping in the microwave, Usually I hear broken blips from concentrated trash, but these were hard solid blips, I was trying to figure out what I was swinging over watching the TID it was reading 38 36 42 38 40, this was sweeping over an area less that the size of my coil, 2 arrows deep sometimes 3, I just dug out a plug and sweept across my coil, blip blip blip,Coin after coin I dug from that hole, after all was cleared I had unearthed 28 wheaties all together along with a 2 inch ornate rocking horse. Yeah it wasnt very valuable in a monetary sense but it could easily had been Morgans. I was really impressed how the detector instantly blip blip blipped all those coins, and didnt read them all together, Im getting good at picking thru and inbetween the trash down there.
