If you want a shot at getting some Indian Head Pennies, go after the zinc penny readings. I been told that is what they come up as and from years ago when detecting I knew that and found some.
Find you a old enough section of town with homes from the 1800s and do the curb strip. Get readings for zinc pennies down 3 to 8 inches and you may just get a lot of indian head pennies, at least a few. Get to know the VID numbers for your machine it helps.
My favorite coin is probably the merc dimes above those or so close I can't tell would be any silver coin. I have never found any seated silver coins. I still remember the enjoyment of finding a Walkng lib half The weight of those bigger silver coins is so cool when you find one and handle it. I imagine finding gold and diamond rings worth a lot would really be cool but It just never happens for me. I have found gold rings but few and of the few two I gave back to the owner.
