Two wheats , one a semi key date

Went hunting in the woods of the park today , to the area where I have had the most success . I set the Vaquero with stock coil up . I forgot to turn the sensitivity up . So I was hunting in all metal and the sens at 1 . I found the first coin a 1917 D penny and I just knew it was going to be a coin . I figured at least six inches deep with the way it sounded when I switched to disc . I was surprised that it was only about three inches deep . Thats when I discovered that the sens. was only set at 1 . So now that I have the sens set at 10 , all metal set to barely quiet , gb neutral, I continued the hunt . Down along the creek I picked up a 1915 S penny . Found it in all metal , switched to disc to get a different sound , and there it was a sweet deep coin signal . This time it was about 6 inches down . The 1915 S filled an empty spot in the coin book . I always get excited to get a wheat here as I have found two 1914 D pennys in the same area and they are rare. When hunting in all metal I like to run the machine silent but barely . I know thats not how it is recommended but its the way I like it and thats what counts .In disc I turn the threshold up to a low hum .

 
Nice dates coming out of that hole . you just may hit a real good one . thanks for keeping s us up on your progress
 
It's always fun to find the old wheat pennies, that's great that it fills a blank spot in your book! It's always good to learn your machine well just like how you picked up on something was different and ended up being your sens.
 
Great finds! There must be some silver around as well with wheaties that old
