Went back to my site of an old grade school yesterday - previously found 1904 IHP and toasted 1890 V nickel along with a lot of old iron etc (no other coins). Those two were found within 15-20 feet of each other and since I'd found no other coins anywhere on the property I decided to cover that area best as I remembered where it was. Within 15 minutes I had a so-so signal and for the first time saw that silver shine in the dirt! 1951 Rosie, 4-5" down. Marked that spot and went in widening circles around it, hit the 1941 wheatie a few feet away, about the same depth. Then junk and more junk. Lots of bits of wire that took a while to find. When I was getting close to quitting I hit another signal and had to dig quite a ways, the 1890 IHP was at least 6" down. Today I did my chores quick to get a couple more hours out there. Detected around an old cedar tree at the corner of the property and was just cutting a diagonal to my "hot spot" when the Mojave went off. Signal was a little bit broken and figured it was junk but out popped a 1942
Walker only about 3" down and I FREAKED OUT. The rest of the day was pretty dry; some old railroad spikes, the railroad was a big part of the history of our small town - the LK&W railroad started out as a narrow gauge, wonder if the smaller spikes could have been from it? Also a cool UMC Nitro Club 12-gauge headstamp,
