Slim Pickings today...Only 2 good keepers

Hey diggers,
I did some door knocking today and hunted 2 old homes in a nearby town. I suspect both yards had been detected before since I wasn't finding the usual assortment of doodads and coins. The few old coins I did find rang up as very unusual signals. In fact, the seated dime didn't even sound like a coin! More like trash but since it was 7 inches deep I figured I should dig it anyway. It wasn't until I opened up the plug and was right on top of it with my probe that it started to sound like a coin. The crucifix rang up as a perfect 12-12. I thought it might a nickel but was surprised to see the cross pop out. It's actually made very nice and is not the typical cheapie I usually dig. Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.

Finding a seated from a signal that didn't sound like a coin is GREAT. :congrats:on getting some keepers that the other detectorists missed.
 
Awesome job on the silvers! But I must still be pretty new because to me those wheaties are nice keepers

Congrats on the Barbers and that cross is an awesome find as well.
always nice driving home from a hunt knowing you have nice keepers in your pocket:congrats:
 
Nice finds. I'd say the cross does count as #3 in my book. Maybe 'cuz cellars I do get a lot of "good" signals that turn into junk iron... and a lot of cellars are infested with junk iron so after hearing grunts incessantly, any non grunt makes me think something could be masked and missed by others.
 
You know Dave , I just have to get this of my chest :eyebrow: it really makes me sick :barf::hairpulling::ticked:to see the condition of your cent coins (wheaties , indians )

Can they come out of the ground in any better shape ?? :rolleyes::lol::rofl: Congrats on the seated and barber by the way . :grin:
