Researched up another site. The (area of the) house and main living area is now under the asphalt like so many other places. However I noticed that there appeared to be a path and a few outbuildings (for unknown reasons) way back behind the house, maybe 1000' or so. So I went to check it out about a week ago for a few hours and I didnt find a single coin. The place is CARPETED with junk! I hate it when places get turned into dumps but I guess the trash truck coming and taking our trash away is a modern convenience. So I went back there, determined that there HAS to be something there. Too much potential to give up on this one. I was wading through the junk, and I got a really sweet repeatable sound, a few inches deep. I unearth the target, and I thought, yes, SILVER! It was the SLQ! with a date that can be read, cool. About 30 minutes later another sweet sound, very shallow, probably junk, I sweep some of the leaves and soft woodsy dirt away with my foot and I see a silver rim! Another silver quarter! Sweet! Then later i had a reading of 12-38 at 4" or so, I thought OK here is finally my first wheatie for this year. I put it in my pocket and when i got home was very suprised that it was a 1906 IH!
So all in all a great day and especially because, after the first coinless trip to this site, I had faith and patience in my research and my detector.
Good luck to you all in the field!
