I went back this morning to a virgin site that I have just recently found. I've posted about it in another forum. It's about the size of two tennis courts. So far in 3 hunts I've found 13 silver coins, 1 silver ring and around 65 wheat pennies. There's more to be found there but I'm going to give it a rest for awhile. I started off this morning swinging the F75SE and found a 1941 Mercury Dime and a few Wheat Pennies. Then I picked up the AT Pro and found a few more Wheat Pennies. This one small section of the site has been pounded. I've gone over it several times with different detectors and coils. I decided to pull out the Vaquero with the 9 x 8 coil to see how it would fair. It nailed a bunch of really deep nickels including a 1944 silver War Nickel, an unidentified coin and some wheat pennies. Some of them were around 8 inches deep. Towards the end of the hunt I got sweet soft tone and dug a really old silver ring. It's stamped 900 and is kind of small but it's hefty. I really enjoyed swinging the Vaquero today. The total count for the Wheat Pennies today is 18. Oh, I almost forgot, one of the Wheat Pennies was coated a silver substance.
