Cleaned up at the 1760's house Sat and Sunday
I used a well beat up and really used Tesoro Cibola. The more modern residents have left every aluminum can and brass rifle cartridge in the UNIVERSE buried on that farm. I got close to the house and the coins started bouncing out of the ground. Sometimes 2 or 3 in one hole. Depths in really trashy areas up to 7" on a penny. Here's the rub - the oldest coin I got was a 1939 wheat penny. I got probably 30 coins, all relatively new. Pennies, dimes, nickels and quarters. The 7 zincolns went with my pocket change to the coin star and to my delight it kept 5 of the 7! The old stuff must be a couple feet under the modern day stuff. I did dig up red brick and charcoal bits. There were at least 5 targets under the coil at each time. I worked slowly and it would zero in on the coins, and left out the little iron. I did dig a possible silver coin, looks quarter size but there is a melted blob on one end. Electrolysis will tell.
