On Saturday I met up with Don and Tim for some detecting. After a somewhat slow start our day was saved by one yard at an 1870s (?) brick house. We strongly suspect it had been detected before as there were no old silver coins at all, but we got some nice finds by digging the odd signals.
My second target in this yard produced a 11-22 signal on the E-trac and I was rewarded with an 1863 "Fatty" Indian Head Cent. It is only my second one ever but it is in a lot better condition than the first one I found. In this yard I also found an 1896 Indian Head, a 3-ringer Minie Ball, and a compact that was about 10" deep. I just opened the compact this morning and discover two wheat cents inside, 1935 and 1942.
It was a very fun day and I was happy to get out with Don and Tim!
