bugar was that useing the id-excel if so i find the same thing with trashy areas awsome seperation plus yes swing real slow to catch targets befor they disaper i like my id-excel but not much depth on coin size targets.maybe 4 or 5 inches max. but i suppose its not to bad considering our soil here in maine.i find more dimes and nickels i found four quarters in one hole weird how that happens.but i found that old eagle button (civil war ?time line i think)and it was in a brook down stream from a old swimming hole.i have not found any old coins lately i still find those wheaties i just found a 1919 but the soil here isnt good to them at all hard to read date on it plus green scale stuff on them old copper pennys.ok well im having fun in the sun and finding alot of pocket change.so thanks for your time and happy hunting to ya.paul from maine
