previously hit lot yields some keepers

[DetectorBase]

About a month ago I hit a small lot close to a train depot. Lots of wine bottle screw caps and shredded beer cans to content with. I was able to pull a single Wheat cent from that trip in March.

Today, I thought I'd give it another try. I had a couple of hours to blow and wasn't expecting much. To my surprise, some keepers started finding their way to the surface. It utterly blows me away how you can miss targets from a previous hunt.

I did do some small adjustments to the SE, but I doubt that would explain today's luck.

1919 Wheat (I think it's 1919.. barely readable)
1936 D Wheat
1944 D Wheat
1924 D Buffalo (date is badly worn, but can see it under magnification)
1936 D Buffalo
1943 S Jefferson (War Nickel!)
1941 S Mercury
1959 D Rosevelt

The ground wasn't too kind to the coins, but it was a fun bit of hunting for sure.

Thanks!

I believe I read in another forum where these coins were all found at about
4". I find that most coins are found at about that depth. I use a sovereign
xs2a and have at times thought of upgrading to an exp. But I'd like to see
that they can do considerably better than what I have before I do.

Here is a pic of a site in Montana that was once a stage stop and post office.
It looked real promising, but only produced a 1949d dime, a 1907 IH, and a
few modern clad coins. If you're ever in this area, bring your SE and we'll
see whats really there.

Good luck with your web site.

Hello

4" is the basically the start of the good stuff for my neck of the woods. That'll get you down to the 1930s-1940s. 6" is the depth I live for. that's the start of IHs and early wheats, barbers, etc. There is park where I'm pulling IHs at 8", and the SE does a great job hitting those.

I'm also lovin' the SE on nickels. Never seen a detector be able to sniff them out as good as this one. But then again, my style has definitely changed.. switch to All Metal and ditched the coin programs. I think the disc pattern is cutting a lot of the deep nickels. I wouldn't mind trying out the White's XLT and opening it up to see if it can see the nickels a little better.. but it's hard to think about putting down the SE for a hunt.

That spot looks cherry!!! Spots like that you need to hit and keep hitting to improve your odds.

I've got another spot I keep hitting, and this morning it gave up an 1895o
barber dime. The key date for the barber dime series. That site gets me
an old coin or two every time I go there. So far I've gotten 3 barber dimes,
4 V nickles, 5 IH's, and a couple dozen pre 1920 lincolns.
