I have not been detecting in months.. back in March I was diagnosed with Menieres Disease.. I have had it since I was in my 20's but it went into remission and came back with a vengeance in March.. its a balance issue... I have to hold onto everything otherwise I will fall.. before I started taking antivert when I would wake up in morning or move the wrong way everything around me would spin for about 20 seconds or so... there is no real treatment for it other than the antivert and maybe a diuretic to lower the fluid levels in my ear.. what I suffer from each day is vertigo, fullness in 1 ear, ringing in ears and hearing loss... I decided to hunt the dirt again... I don't think I want to try water hunting and fall in the water as I wear waders... maybe a little wet sand but that is it...
I recently got permission to hunt a 1858 private home... I have only hunted the small front yard leaving me about an acre and a half of backyard... I can't believe the amount of wheat pennies in the yard.. I have had to clean out my pouch a couple times.. the good stuff goes into a padded container... I left the majority of the wheats and a few period relics with the homeowner and plan on sharing the silver with him... forgot to mention a pocket spill of 1 rosie and 4 tiny coins from Switzerland..
The last picture was a different permission that turned out to be a bust because only two silvers were found at that permission.. the entire yard had been filled in with new soil...

my grandfather and god mother on my fathers side suffered from this same thing... there is no cure for this... at least it won't kill me 
(Haven't been out much myself. Life getting in the way)
