Third virgin site of the year and it was awesome! Ended up with 4 V nickels, two Buffalos, 5 Indian heads, two Mercs, three Barber dimes, one Seated dime, a standing liberty quarter, and a bucket lister two-cent piece. Never dug deeper than about 6" or so, so there may be more there deep, but it seemed pretty clean when I left!

I have not seen a two-center in forever

Glad to hear it! I get in ruts too and it takes a kick in the butt from somebody else's posts sometimes to take another approach. I just moved to this area last year and it was hard coming off of all these places that I knew to start over from scratch. I took a different approach since I don't have the colonial sites I used to have before the move. I'm starting to get good at cracking sites from old aerials in a way I wasn't before and I think that's made the difference. Keep at it!
I have coins here that are better than the ones I have in my collection from when I was buying them in high school! Didn't have a 2-center in that collection either.
It's a good variety for sure. A good friend of mine hasn't been able to detect this year because of work, so I've been sending him videos of some of my better finds to get his fill while he waits out all the overtime!
It's less than an acre in size and pretty clean for the most part. Hit it hard with the CTX's 17" coil from multiple angles. It's odd though... I've been using Auto+3 sensitivity so it's more stable than manual. If I switch to manual I have to dial it way back because there's some kind of interference there. If I set the detector down and the coil is vertical, I get all kinds of falsing from something up off of the ground. No idea what it is though. All of this stuff was 6" or less though, and I've found dimes at 12" in auto sensitivity other places before. i'm hoping I can get the manual to calm down, but if not I'm fairly confident with such a big coil and clean ground that I'm getting the majority of it. It's all hard clay which seems to keep things shallow!
