I've been MD'ing an old picnic area with very strange results....The area is tab and bottle cap infested....I'm using the ATPRO...pro zero mode....full sens.......gb 89-91 with the 5X8 dd coil.....I've been finding wheaties at depths of 2-3 inches....silver dimes ...1920&1946 at 2-4 inches....nickels at 2-3 inches.....lots of clad dimes....2-4 inches...and hardly any clad qtrs..The area is detected by at least 2 other MD'ers....Why are are there so many clad dimes and hardly any clad qtrs.....there should be more silver...or are the better signals being masked? Next time out I'm going to dig every mixed signal.....Any other suggestings out there?

Tricky picnic area!

Quarters are easy and the Bounty Hunters/Radio Shacks find them. Any kid with a $50 detector can dig quarters.
Dimes are a tad harder, particularly in trashy areas, and many(most?) experienced detectorists screen nickels so they dont have to fool with pulltabs.
And since silver comes in away from most trash, folks tend to hunt a bit harder for it.

Yesterday I was especially lucky on the quarters. I found 23 Quarters and 38 dimes. I usually find far more dimes than quarters. The area I was detecting is a park that was developed in 1990. I do not believe that it has ever been detected as I found no evidence of anyone killing the grass with poor techniques.
