It's frustrating isn't it Carl? I'm hunting old parks and fairgrounds that were established in the early 1900's. A typical 3 hour hunt may yield 10 to 20 Coins, but there all 1965 and newer, dang it. These are large areas of ground and I will return hoping to find what older coins may be left, but it's nice to dig a real keeper once in a while to help a person's attitude and self respect. LOL Don't get me wrong I still enjoy finding these newer coins and they are great training and experience with using and learning your detectors, but nothing makes the heart race like old silver coin. I love the design of the older coins, some of them are just plain beautiful in my opinion. Thanks for the comments Carl and good luck detecting.
