Yesterday I made it back to the park for a couple of hours and right off the bat I hit two Indians stacked together, dated 1902 and 1903!!! It's funny - sometimes I'll get a streak going to where I dig 4-5 good deep coins and then nothing but trash for an hour, then it will pick back up again. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it - it's just a matter of where I get the coil 
I started at a slightly different spot to get the Indian duo, and then pulled a 1935 Wheat not far away. Came across a very high-toned hit, and really thought it was going to be a silver coin, but this turned out to be a sterling Champleve pin from the 1910s-1920s - which would date it close to the same period where most of the coins are coming from. Too bad the actual pin is missing, it would be much more valuable! It may have had the owner's name enameled onto the front, but hard to say for sure.
Dug some more iron today; one target in particular I almost gave up on. I remember pulling 5 long nails from the 6-10" level, and finally got a hit in the sidewall at about 8" to pull an 1893 Indian cent that was undoubtedly masked by all those nails! I couldn't believe it! Dug another hole and pulled three nails, but no coin....the 9" coil really shines in areas like this and I'm getting the same depth from it as I did with the 11" coil. I couldn't be happier and there's MUCH more park to explore!
The sharpest coin of the day was a gorgeous 1900 Indian cent with full "liberty" showing in the headband! This one was at the 7" mark and was a clean hit registering 60-62 VDI. Not a minute later and maybe three feet away I got an iffy hit and first pulled another long nail, and then another twofer - two more Indians out of the same hole! These registered 58 and 59 out of the hole - which is almost exactly where zinc cents ring up in 4 kHz.
Hopefully the rain will hold off for tomorrow and I can get back to the action - I'm looking for a way to ignore the beavertails but still keep the machine sensitive enough to hit 8-9" deep coins. Will let you all know how it goes tomorrow!
