I went to a park that was established in the 30's on Monday. It was a park I had not hunted before. I pulled 4 wheats 19, 20, 29 and one was dateless. I also got the 44 Merc it was about 6 inches down. Today I went for a short hunt to an area Ive been over with the V3i and managed to get a1911 Barber dime and a 15-D wheat from the same hole 8 inches down. I also picked up another wheat at about 7 inches. Oh, and of course alot of rusted IRON again.

Nice score on that silver, especially the barberThe rusted nails usually come with the territory for me, since I get bored and try and make them sound like a coin lol I have yet to fully understand iron and to trust the machine, even though it has been correct all along. I just can't stop digging the iffy iron. But after a while, I'll learn to let them signals go. Great hunt and lots of good targets. You did very well.
Finding relics is in my blood

Nothing like a Silver coin spill to make your hunt. Good for you for going back and re-hunting the area. You earned those nice coins. Congratulations.

Nice finds Jeff, keep them coming.

Nothing like hunting a new park for the first time & finding old coins..
I know how your feelin' about the nails Jeff
But like others have said if the target seems to move in PP mode it's most likely a nail. Usually they're old square nails
But it looks like your gettin' it OK though
Nice old pocket spill 8)
