Ok, My house was built in 1920, and has been vacant a good part of it's recent history, I just bought this house(fixer upper) this past February, only just sold my Ace250 and bought a fisher F5 stock coil a little less than 30 days ago. I've been using my yard as a mystery test bed to learn my new MD, the yard is iron and nail infested, and the only finds so far are a couple maybe 15-30 yr old toy cars and clad from the 70's. So there is coins to be found, these were found at approx 2-5" deep, THERE MUST BE IH's, MERCURY's AND OTHER ASSORTED OLDER COINS HERE.
It's now my mission to make my yard look like 10 generations of gophers moved in (hurry-call Bill Murray) I've ordered a larger DD coil that will be here Mon or Tue as well, but think the stock coil should find something as well.
This now has become my personal challenge, and I'm going to spend some time every day till I figure this place out.
Since Felix's contest is over (I won hahaha)(bragging rights) is anyone interested in me starting a new contest where anyone can guess what significant coin----must be older than a wheat,rosie,war nickel,W-qtr, etc not just a 64 silver even though a good find, you can guess what coin will be the first I find, give year as many may say the same coin and closest would win, going till end of August? I even have an ok prize for the winner. Let me know if you think this would be a cool contest, if dumb-SAY SO, won't hurt my feelings, I'd rather not do it if no interest. Contest would start as soon as enough interest says yes in this thread.
Prize = New/used Garrett head phones, was going to sell them here cheap, but I have to be a member for at least 6mos to sell anything, so I'll give them away. Nothing expensive, came with my Ace250, sold the Ace, still have the headphones, 1/4 jack, scuffed a tiny bit from being in bag, but NEVER USED.
Let me know
Oh, and my town(small) was founded in 1790
