Found 44 Old Coins Today

[bazinga]

Today was just one of those days. I met up with Tony around 9am. We hunted maybe 30-45min before the rain started coming down pretty hard. Tony was having some detector troubles. So we went out to get some tape, new earbuds, and some food. It was probably close to 1 before we got back out there again to really do any damage. Then hunted for 2 hours and then it rained again for another hour. Then we detected for a few more hours after that. His detector would work for a bit, then stop, then repeat.

I honestly believe I could have broken 50 wheats today had it not rained for about half of our detecting time. Basically everything I dug today was old. I'm still in shock about how many wheats I found!

Total Finds:
1 Indian Head (1896)
37 Wheats
1 Silver Roosevelt Dime
5 Mercury Dimes (1918D, 1920, 1942, 1943, 1943D)
Gold-Plated pin with an "h" on it

I use the new 11" Pro coil. It's the only way to detect.

Sure looks like it! I'd have one, too, but they're on backorder.....

You pull some great stuff out with it for sure!

Yeah, the new coil is pretty incredible. Three of the mercurys today were straight up and down at about 5" deep.

Hey Brian

I had a 50 + wheat day a couple years ago. It took me less then 10 minutes. It was a roll of wheats buried about 4 inches down.
It was a riot digging them up.


Congrats on those finds,,,

They ALL came from your backyard. I heard some crazy guys out east throw their "modern" coinage away, so I thought I would go pick them up.
