I know I promised these yesterday, but I had some camera issues, sorry. Seem to have them resolved, so here are the pics of the hunt I described a few days ago. Over the years I have been to this small park 11 times with my XS and stock coil, finding a large amount of silver, Indians and others. I was hoping to snag a few more with my new SEF coil, and this is what I found- 33 old coins and the big ring. Hunted about 6 1/2 hours, did probably 50-60% of the park, so obviously I have to get back there again to finish it.
Not pictured are the 20 wheats I found. The 1717 English coin looked amazing through the dirt, but a light olive oil soak and wipe seemed to roughen it up a bit, but still not too bad for a nearly 300 year old coin. The 2 Seateds were in the same hole, which was quite cool as it's only the second time I've found 2 seateds in one hole- the 1875-S is rough.
Enjoy the pics and good luck on your next trips out!
