This weekend I decided to go to a park that is in an old town and dates back at least to the 1870's. I have hunted this park a couple times in the past but never found anything until last year when I found a couple wheat pennies. I thought I would put on the Ultimate Coil and go slow and dig all of those iffy deep signals.
My first iffy signal turned out to be a 1900 Indian in TERRIBLE shape...but I was happy and optimistic! After about 5 hours I had a bunch of trash but a great variety of old coins! About 15 Wheaties, 1925 and 1936 Buff, 1889 V nik, 1943 War nik, 1898 and 1900 Indians, 1957 Rosie, 1937 and 1918 Mercs, a 1904 Barber dime, a 1945 Washington and sweet old 1881 H Canadian Quarter! I am now VERY confident that there are more oldies there and hopefully a seated coin. Only the quarters were obvious signals, all of the others were scratchy, irony, nulling out, odd numbers, crappy but deep signals.
My last hole was a spill with the 1918 merc and the 1904 Barber in it. It was dark and I knew I had an old slick silver...was hoping for a seated but not this time.
I also found a couple marbles. Always a bonus when one of those show up in the hole.
I am hoping to get out tomorrow weather permitting so I might get one more hunt in this year. If not then this last hunt was a great one to end the year!

This year has been ridiculous for me!
