Finally got to get out in the yard with an improvement in the weather and do some searching. Up to today the only things I have found with minimal time is pull tabs,nails, cans and misc trash . After the first day I started to improve and found a bullet (modern copper cladded) but an improvement non the less. Next time i only had a few minutes at a different location and finally found my first coin a clad penny but at least it wasn't trash. Finally today I got to spend a couple hours in the yard and put into practice what I had learned so far. First I found a penny then another then another then a quarter and then a few more pennies all within a few feet of my driveway. So I am improving learning the ATP . Depths ranged from 2 -8 inches deep with tones from 72-86 . The quarter was about 3 inches and came in at 84 . It was a good day for me and I'm sure it may seem funny to all the guys who find the really cool silver and gold and such but I'm a total newbie and was happy to see a 1963 penny which is 6 years older than my house. I'll continue to search my yard for awhile while doing research on my area which has a lot of history ranging back in the early/mid 1800's . I know the silver and old relics will come in time when I get into an area older than where I am now. Until that time comes I only need to find another 749.86 cent to break even lol
