Went out today for a 2hr hunt, wasn't expecting to but just had a hunch. :icon_pirat: The half was a bouncing signal going from iron to coin, iron to coin, iron to coin. I couldn't even pinpoint it so I just guessed where the center was an dug my plug thinking that it may be a dime with a nail next to it, boy was I supprised when I say just the silver rim sticking out of the plug, I was so excited that I had to call my buddy Watercolor about my find!!! Everything except for the 58 wheatie was a bouncy signal, if you want the goodies you have to dig the bouncy signals. :icon_pirat: Happy hunting everyone!!!
