I decided to hit one of our locally hammered parks to see if I could squeeze out one last piece of silver before the season ends. Perhaps vacuumed would be a better description than hammered since everyone with a detector within a hundred miles has pounded this spot for the past quarter century. I did manage to find a couple of wheaties but not much else. Then I got shallow hit ... maybe another wheatie but probably a stinkin' Lincoln. I dug a plug about 4" deep and nothing in sight. My probe said there still was a penny there somewhere. I shoved my digger in another few inches and two large silver coins popped out in a clump of dirt. I admit that was a bit unexpected. The coins were about an inch apart, resting at an angle to each other. The only thing I could figure was that my Explorer saw both targets and did some averaging that resulted in a shallow "penny" reading. This is probably why the hundred or so other guys walked over the target and left it there. In all my years of detecting, this hobby never ceases to amaze me.

That is amazing that nobody else picked up those two WLH's in the past and it just goes to show you that there are still some nice coins still left out there to be found even in those pounded to death places. GL & HH.
