Morning park hunt gets old coins!

Hi all,
I got out after work this morning for a few hours to the little park that I found the merc and Indian last time. This morning started slow, but I got onto a small area that I began to get some very deep iffy but repeatable signals. First few holes I popped some early wheats including a 1913D, 1917, 1926, and a 1929.
One signal showing a 12-40 at 8" was only repeatable in one direction and sometimes squeaked in the other. I figured it was a nail, but decided to dig it anyway. Sure enough, dug a bent nail. Rechecked the hole and the pinpointer got another hit maybe 2 more inches down. Picked up a dirt ball and saw a silver rim! Flipped off the dirt and saw the "one dime", flipped it over and saw a really nice 1901 Barber with the liberty intact! Wow
A little later I picked up a 46 wheat, then got another deep iffy 12-36. Figured another wheat, but was surprised to end my hunt with a beautiful 1893 IH, nice green with liberty still visible! Really happy about this one. :)
As an aside I almost had a heart attack digging a deep 12-26 when I saw a perfectly sized gold rim. Turned out to be a 2 1/2 dollar gold coin sized metallic gold colored button. Dang!
Tomorrow I'm put for the whole day. Found an old swimming hole and hoping it pans out. Thanks for reading!

Thanks everyone! May have to get bsck out with the big coil and see whats deeper down. Might work, but it's trashy.
Swimming hole was pretty much a bust. Only 1 silver ring. Might try door knocking for once. Saw a lot of very old houses on the way In.
