"AWESOME" grove gives up some more goodies!

Went out prospecting by the "Awesome" grove, and a short distance away from where the goodies were coming from, I stumbled upon another "Awesome" spot. Within half an hour, I scored 3 wheaties; 1916-s, 1919, & 1919-s. Merc dime; 1918-s, and a Barber dime; 1916. All within a 10'x10' area. Have to go back and grid it out and work it hard. The Barber dime was over 12" deep and came in at 01-41 on the E-Trac, barely made a faint signal. Merc was at about 7" or 8". Wheaties were deep too. Tuned up the machine by cranking up the gain to 27 and sensitivity to 24. I can't believe how faint some of the signals of these coins were.

All in all a good day in my books! Can't wait to go back there and hit it hard and slow.

Enjoy and HH!

Sorry the pics are yellowish, but it is dark and I am using artificial light. Coins are uncleaned as you can see. The silver has some black on it, and the wheaties should clean up nice.

I am in awe!!! Just out of curiosity, what does a dime normally read on an E-Trac?

Normally my dimes come in at 12-45, sometimes 12-44......But, I have dug dimes that came in as 12-41, which is normally a wheatie.

This one was a faint deep high tone, so that's why I dug it. At that point, I didn't even pay attention to the numbers since the depth meter was buried, and the tone was high.

It's the deepest coin I have found to date. Didn't look anything like a coin by the numbers, but it had a SWEET faint high sound. Now I know what to listen for looking for those deepies.
