Today I put in about an hour and a half, with the 6" coil on my nox. I worked some very trashy park areas. Even with the super sniper, I wasn't finding many coins. I moved around to other trashy areas, and did a little better. Then, suddenly I hear a solid high pitch hit! It was a very coin-like signal; reading a 35. About 4 inches down, this big slab of a coin popped up. My very first Eisenhower Dollar! Not silver, but finding an Ike is rare, so it already made my day. Then about 2 minutes later, with a quarter-like signal(30), I dug another rarity: a unicorn! A sterling silver unicorn ring! She was bent inward and busted, but my first sterling ring for 2018. It's about time!
Total clad was about three bucks and some pennies. Everything was sniped in trashy areas. Fun hunt!

Fun hunt. Congrats on the Eisenhower dollar. They are not easy to come by in the dirt. Make sure to cross Unicorn off your bucket list!

PS. I'd tell you how many Ikes I've found this year, but you wouldn't believe me. :D

Thanks everyone. Sure is a big coin. Monetary value aside, they sure make a great find in the dirt! Once in a lifetime is fine with me...I wonder how many Lucky Stiffwrists dug this year? I vaguely recall mention of this before. Got a post link for that?
