Another one from the 'hunted out' yard

[lrgoodger]

Weather was fair today for Michigan on the last day of November, so I went back to the stately old yard where I got the 1853 dime and the 1881 IHP last week. It is indeed pretty clean, but I can cover more ground with the Deus II 11" coil than I used to with the old detectors with their 8" coils. I was moving steadily across a large, clean area when the Deus rang up a solid 94 both ways. 2" deep was an 1876-S quarter in nice shape. The nearest iron was a foot away. I looked for it to see if the quarter had been masked. It was not. Previous hunters cleaned most of it, but they did not meticulously cover every inch.
