Very bad signal old copper!

[Mark kus]

I was hunting the old park I’ve pulled so many coins from but decided to detect the area that’s been dug up and replanted.
I was finding clad and a few wheats when I had a very bad very broken signal I almost did not dig it glad I did turned out to be a large cent not sure on date though. The buffalo and St Christopher are from another park down the road.
Used my Nox 800

Thanks Jeff I’d guess it was only about 4” cut the plug and it was just in the bottom of the hole came out with a handful of dirt

Congrats on that old copper. Nice score. I found a medal identical to that before with the unique edging.

You have to wonder how it had a poor signal? Partially masked?

When they replanted that area they must have dug 2-3 inch's a litter dipper. Good place to hunt. May have been partially on side in ground . Go back and check entire area ,check from different directions. Go slow. You will probably find much more in area.
