My standing late 1800's to early 1900's permission just had its territory expanded when I requested to hunt more of the property. I have another 1.5 acres to search! My biggest interest has been this grove of trees:
I grabbed the ACE 400 and did some preliminary swinging, mainly in Coins mode, but I also branched out and ran Custom 40+ nearly full sensitivity. I spent about 1.5 hours in there. I hit a couple clad coin spills, including 30 pennies within a 5ft radius of one another. Nearby was another small spill, with 2 quarters, 1 dime and 1 nickel. Unfortunately, all of it was clad ($0.99 worth).
Then I got some weird "82" hits under 3 different trees, which typically isn't a coin (on my 400 pennies show up as 84's at first usually, then 78's when they get shallow-er). So I wasn't too excited about an 82 because they are often pieces of old can tops or bottoms. In this case, however, the 3 solid 82 hits turned out to be fully intact Vintage (1920's era) Pond's Vanishing Cream bottles. Apparently people collect these things. On Etsy they go for around $10, so that's cool. Is it just me, or does anyone else find it strange that someone was strategically burying these things under trees? Any thoughts on that? Based on weight, I believe each of these still has product inside it.
Not much else worth mentioning although I did get a working Bic lighter.
Surely there are old coins in this place! I'm looking forward to hitting it again. HH all!

....you never know. Does seem strange to find three intact jars with the lids still on them in close proximity to each other. Anyways looks like you've got a great spot to hunt on, congrats!
