    Silver and old wheats today , Rings #19 - #23

    Got out early this morning and hunted one of my favorite schools . Right away I had a +74 at 7 inches , turned out to be a 1919S wheat cent . Next good find was in the back part of the soccer field . It was a +75 at 5 inches , silver ring . Next I found a cool old ring that was 6 inches deep and has a round glass stone on it . Then my DD coil took a dump on me . I put on the 12 inch coil and off I went for more . I found a 1942 S wheat and one more junk ring . The other two rings and the 1947 nickel and 1928S wheat were found last Sunday . Total clad for 3 hours was $ 10.48 .
    I also took a picture of all the crap I dug during the hunt .

    Nice stuff! How did you get that nickel so shiny? Or is the ground good to coins over there?

    Bummer about the coil. I recently had my AT Pro coil crack and was out of business for a week or two. Garrett replaced my coil free of charge and had awesome customer service
    Coins found so far: (DETECTING SINCE JULY 2015)
    Silver - 1 SLQ, 6 Washingtons, 11 Mercs, 8 Rosies, 1 Barber Dime, 7 War Nickels
    Others - 6 buffalo nickels, 1 large cent, 1 colonial copper, 5 IHP, and too many wheats.

    DETECTORS USED
    Garrett AT Pro, Ace 250, and Pro-Pointer AT

    I tumbled the nickel . I'm going to call Whites this week . They have replaced 3 coils for me over the years .

    Superstar to find that much clad in 3 hours on top of all that junk. Talk about dialed in on searching. The ground where you hunt must be fairly easy to work in, I did enjoy CA hunting for the day I was out there. A lot easier to dig your soil than here in WI. Sorry to hear about the coil, that is unfortunate. Good thing you had a backup with you!
