Well tonight I went back to the farm I hunted this week, where I dug the 1895-S barber dime. I went across the exact same areas, Only I turned 90 degrees. I cannot BELIEVE how many coins I dug today!!!! It was better than the first day! Many were one way hits!!!! It pays to detect yards at different angles. 
First target was an indian, then a few feet away I get an odd type signal medium tone, nice and smooth, 6" deep and it read 07-31, hmmm what could this be? I dug my plug and the first thing I see is a wheat, I say to myself, no way a wheat could read at 07-31, so I run my coil over the hole and I now get a nice low tone, 12-17. there was a silver war nickel under the wheat! That was silver 199.
I stand up walk literally 2 feet and get a sweet 12-45, I am praying please be silver! Well lo and behold it was #200 and it was a 1946 rosie. And I am NOT complaining one single bit. I cannot believe I hit the 200 mark in one season.
The etrac is truly a silver machine!!!!
The rest of the yard gave up 3 more injuns, another full date buffalo, several wheats, a small flat button with a train on it. The oddest thing is the one wheat I dug, what do you think happened to it? How did someone do that?
Anyhow I am on cloud nine, an awesome hunt...It is just hard to believe that many more coins came out of this farm yard! Thanks to everyone for looking! And happy hunting to all!

EXCELLENT!!!! Way to go. 
I've dug two of those train buttons both were in an area where coins were found that dated in the 1840's. One was small (Cuff button?) and the other was larger but not a coat size. I'd be interested if an exact date was made of those train buttons. Must have been a popular button style?
