Trooper Bri and I decided to hit the house foundation we detected last Saturday ( he got the 3 copper coin spill and I found the GW button that day):wow: .I still had a very good feeling about the site an I felt it still had some goodies laying around :yes:.

I picked up where I left off last week and in an area i was finding buttons and quickly found a few more and then a King George III copper then a "fatty" Indian head . followed by a very nice large two piece button with a nice floral motif with huge amounts of gilt still on it.then it slowed down a bit until i hit a nice coin tone :shocked01:only to retrieve a heavily crusted Matron head large cent :happydance01:about a foot away i get another coin hit :shocked02:. Another large cent comes up , i re-sweep the hole and I hear an iron null , grunts but the tail end of the signal is almost coin like .I re-sweep it from a different angle it mostly nulls out by the iron , i can't get it to sound good . I'm almost convinced it a bent nail by the way it sounds i fill the hole and walk away . :detecting: I swing the coil for a few feet and then go back (I'm digging out the iron and then gonna swing over ) I say to my self . I pinpoint two iron targets and dig , out comes a nail with large rusted head :yes: then i get a very sweet coin tone Brian was standing over me as i reach into the hole and pry loose the target .:shocked03: out flies two large green disks :shocked04::grin::happydance01:. later one just before we leave i pull up one last copper .

Wow, do you know your machine or what. :congrats:on all those coppers and can't wait to see them cleaned up. Great hunt. :thumbsup02:
 
Wow that is a super day and oh boy do I love the Coppers and you gave me a lot to look at! Congratulations!
 
Oh my GOSH!! :happy::happy::happy::happy:
I decide not to hunt with you guys last week and you find a GW, I decide not to hunt again this week and a bazillion coppers show up. :lol: Awesome hunt Dan! :notworthy: Don't you just love digging a questionable target, remove a nail, then hear the sweetest sound since Mozart? :daydream:
 
Wow, What an amazing hunt. I go nuts if I find only one. I'd probably flip out if was able to dig that many in a season. You do it in one hunt.:envious::wow::congrats:
 
Unbelievable! I would be doing the happy dance if I ever found a single Indian much less a large cent-and just look how many coppers you find in one day! Big congrats, and I know you will be back digging more iffy signals and probably turning over every tin can to look under it for a while...:lol:

:congrats:

Thanks Al , after swinging the dfx for about ten years now , I usually can tell if a good target in near iron but when multiple iron is around it and affects the tone from different angles makes it a real challenge. so my default is to isolate the iron and remove it to "re-listen" to the target , this has proven good results in the past .

I got a couple cleaned an will post them .

Outstanding hunt Dan. 6 copper days are rare around here. :thumbsup01:

here too Earle , it only happened a few time s before with me , thanks

Drew , it was a wet , windy and chilly :frozen: day but i didn't want to leave :lol:
 
:shocked03::daydream: I could only dream of having a day like that.

They are rare Robbie , I hope you get to have a few as well ! thanks

Thank you very much Don , just lucky to get the 4 coin spill is all .

:shocked04: WOW !!! I'll bet if you were to hit that spot again you would find more great stuff .:congrats:

I'll go back but i'll probably wait until spring when the ground is saturated and the foliage is flattened down by the winter's snow. It should open some areas up. Thanks CT
