Past 10 days finds... No dead pets in this one!

Been to quite a few different spots the past week or so. All of them except one has been old hunting spots I have hit before. My best find,(that I like) is the 1876 seated quarter. I also found about 30 wheats that I have soaking and five V nickels and couldn't get them out for the pic. I also have an old chain and some other stuff that's too big to take pictures of right now.

Found a nice 1934 Ford token that's pretty cool. A few dog tags and I was hoping someone may be able to tell me what the (9 pin) is. It was found a few inches from the seated quarter. I will start with tomorrow and save up my finds again to post in a week or so..
Thanks for looking!

nice job some very nice finds
 
Way to go Magic. That seated is a great find and any seated is still on my goal list for this year I'm at silver number 53 for the year with no seated, I wish we had more seated coins in this area. You are becoming a master with the V3i. When is your book going to be done? I will buy the first one to purchase it, but only if you autograph it for me. Tomorrow I have about 7 hours to myself and it is going to be great weather here. Can you guess what I'm doing? Take care, Jeff
 
Da.......it! you just had to go and show me up:clapping:

Amazing amount of good stuff. You must be running deoslyfox's salt program....:heh:
 
Wow nice coin finds, congratulations!
 
Hey Magic, Nice finds and I love the Old token. If the no. 9 pin is kinda grayish it is probably not a pin but a tack. They are window tacks and they are used to match the storm windows to the correct window in old houses. Windows were all custom built in the day, and you had to keep track of which screen or storm window went to which window. Hope that helps.
 
Thanks everyone! My book will be done in the spring of next year. Thanks coinnut on the id for the pin....it makes sense now. I found another with 11 on it.
Two of the rings are silver and one is junk. Some of this stuff was very deep so....no I wasnt running foxes program...I am afraid to even put it into my machine as it may infect it with some type of virus! :heh:

The technique I have been using the past few weeks has been paying off and it will be in my book. I will post it here and only here for all to see.
Most of the spots I have been hunting is impossible to get any type of hit because of the amount of nails and iron in the ground. All the easy targets have been found so there are no easy ones left.
Here is what I have been doing.

(this is nothing new but most people out there will not do it because it is not easy..but it does produce results!)

First step using a D2 coil
I take a section that is about 20x20 and I hunt using only my pinpoint locked on. What ever my pinpoint takes me to, I dig it up. Everything you dig will be iron and trash. This takes a little time so be patient, you are just preparing the ground for the real hunt.

Second step using a smaller coil
Once you are done with this, Go back over the area really slow and you will hear new targets that were not there before. You have unmask them from using the larger coil to get rid of the dominate iron and trash in the ground.

Its like a whole new hunting field! By the way, the seated was a sweet surprise! I dug out a nail, swept again and still got and iron signal, dug out two more nails and swept and got a good tone, dug again and out popped the seated! The best part was that it was only about 5 inches deep. Those nails really mask the target.
 
Magic you have far more patience than I do. Although I do a similar technique, in gridding. I also dig all the targets at times and occasionally unmask a nice find. (re; my little 50 cent piece post) Sometimes it is just as fun to see what got buried and wonder why.

I picked up a 10 inch solid copper rod yesterday. (in the middle of a very large park) And I had to wonder..why would someone have it here, and why would they have dropped it?
 
Wow Magic what kind a plases you Hunt???? WTG on your finds, Mickfin
 
Great finds Doug. That is a really nice haul you got there and some other coins you didn't even post! You are the Master my friend! Excellant.
