Managed to get out today for a quick little dash around a new cellar hole. My last hunt here produced a gilt button and a 1890 IH. I damaged both (due to digging and chopping in rock hard ground). Thinking that the ground may have softened up a bit, I tried again today. Some spots are soft enough in one section to dig, but closer to the field in the open the ground is litterally rock hard. I left 3 coin sounding targets in the ground. These targets I didnt' want to scratch up. 2 solid quarter signals, and a penny/dime-screwcap signal (Indian head). Anyhow, I'll be back. Today was fun, I managed this 1898 Indian Head in great shape, 2 buckles, a suspender clip part?, and a brass whatsit.

How can you sleep? lol Leaving coin signals in the ground?? It stinks when you finally get a good signal and you hit that concrete we call ground :ticked: Hope you can remember where they were. Good little hunt ,and you scored an Indian for your troubles. Couple more weeks and the frost should almost be gone!

Believe me, I know exactly where they are....I stacked a tower of rocks on top of where the signals were. I'm almost positive these are nice targets. But, the D buckle I dug rang solid quarter on the DFX. So I may be dissapointed when I finnaly get to dig them. I'll just continue believing they are 2 large cents, and another Indian Head.

rofl rofl rofl Oh man, I totally relate- had to do that the other day, my signals were in the shade of a maple not able to thaw. Rock solid! Went back today it was a mower beat up alum can (do I need a better detector?)

Anyway, sweet score on the IH. Love that brass whatsit lol All I found today was 70/80's clad, a pocketknife, 1955 wheatie and a1943 S nickel
