Default deep iron in coin mode
i continually work my backyard and it amazes me that i still am able to dig up a coin or a whatzit. well, yesterday, i decided to dig up the the deep coin hits (8"+) that are always big or deep iron. marked 3 spots and went and got the big shovel. hey, the back yard is already a total waste land from me learning how to use this thing. i dig up the first signal and sure enough, a piece of flat iron at about 12 inches. i go to the second spot and dig almost the exact same thing. by now, my wife is watching me out the back door. even the dog bailed out on me this time. she new there was going to be trouble. i tell her that i just have one more spot to dig and she gives me THE LOOK and goes back inside. i call the dog a coward and commence to digging. second shovel full and out falls the silver. oh yea, i did the dance.
