got out of work early today and stopped by a place I had permission to hunt, it is a house in town from late 1800's. There was some MAJOR electrical interference and I remembered someone saying the 3khz coil was effected more by electrical interference so I went to my car and changed to my med freq coil (7.5khz) I have not used this coil since last summer...lol

anyhow, it did not help, I tried every channel on noise cancel, nothing helped, kept lowering sensitivity, did not help. I was bummed. I hunted as slow as I could trying to get some sort of signals with my sensitivity so low. I did manage 5 shallow wheats that were in 4" range. Got the token pretty easy too since it was 4" or less. The indian was about 6" and I just about did not dig it. It sounded like trash, but what did I have to lose?

It is the first indian of the year....1882.

I've hunted the same site for 2 days and havn't found any coins :'(, how you do it so fast?
 

fast? well either the coins are there or they are not? it was a small front yard, I went over it 2 different directions, and 35% of it, I could not detect at all because too much interference. I could not even get sensitivity at 20, if I have to go lower than 20, I won't even waste my time detecting. You lose way to much depth.
 

Congrats on the finds.... Just starting from the top, beautiful '17 Lincoln and Indian head. I especially admire the surface condition. How did you clean them or what exactly have you done to the coins since digging them out of the ground.. Thanks for your time.
