Went back to a property that has given up a lot of coins, but also has a ton of mid tone signals. Thick areas of old beaver tail pull tabs and tab pieces and can slaw. I've done pretty well in the past picking out stable coin signals, but those signals are getting few and far between.
It stands to reason that more coins are hiding in and under that aluminum. The goal for this hunt was to see what I could shake out or unmask.
I used my Lesche hand digger instead of the shovel and turned down the sensitivity to stay on the shallower side and also to improve separation. I was listening for spots where I could hear at least two mid tones clumped within inches of each other. Plenty to choose from.
I ended up with a big handful of aluminum, but also one of my most productive hunts on that property in awhile. I knew I'd find nickels mixed in, but I was surprised at the number of pennies that had been masked.
15 wheat pennies (earliest was 1910) and a 1 oddball zinc. No memorials!
2 1943 Jefferson silver war nickels
1 1926 Buffalo nickel
1 1905 Liberty V nickel
9 Jefferson nickels mostly from the 50s-70s
3 dimes from the 60s.
Also, what I thought was going to be a crushed can turned out to be one of those 1920s-30s Merry Widows condom tins.
Happy hunting!
