    Silver & Indians

    A few finds from last couple hunts. the 1887 Indian a was deep iffy signal bouncing around. I've learned to dig those type signals, it's usually something good. If I had not been moving super slow I probably would have missed it. Using ML Safari with the NEL Hunter coil, I really like this coil, it seems to hit harder on those coins on edge. I've been revisiting old spots with this coil finding coins on edge I've missed that just barely give a peep of a signal.

    Nice finds. I pull a lot of Indians that are iffy signals. When I'm in a good spot I did all the iffy signals. Yeah, I pull old nails and garbage too, but I don't want to leave the Indians. In some spots this can also mean large cents in a hole with square nails etc. Way to go!

    Some how Indians just look so nice coming out of a hole. They can make your whole hunt sometimes. Silver never hurts either Nice Merc.

    I have the opposite luck. My iffy's usually turn out to be nails. Nice batch of coins and keep digging those iffy's. WD
