Incredible finds! WOW!

I love the Seated Dime! Someday I will find one.

Such beautiful Indian Heads too! All of them look great, but that 1883 is stunning! Very nice Barber Dime too with great detail.

Congrats on the spectacular hunt! |:confused:)

My oh my, those are some beauties! I pity the poor soul that follows around where you have been! No doubt the ground won't be singin' as sweetly once you have been through!

Oh I miss plenty. :yes: At this particular park I have found a couple of IH's not more than 10 inches from one of my previous holes. Hitting a squared off area from a different direction absolutely helps.

Thanks again folks.

I am very impressed! Did you dig a lot of clad in between these finds? Don't the indians age gracefully? :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Thank you. Up till tonight I have been leaving the shallow targets go as I have determined almost all of the good ones are 5 plus inches from this site... most being 7 plus. This evening I decided to clear out the screaming shallow coin targets in an area that were getting in the way of hearing what was below.

On my machine with an 11 inch coil, a quarter, dime or penny at 1 or 2 inches or less really blocks off a large search area underneath of it.
