Haven't been out much yet this year, but I managed to get out on Tuesday April 22 for a few hours. I worked an old church where the original was 1850 and then built the new one in 1890. There is about a hundred old pine trees on the property, anywhere from 100 to 150 years old. I was working around the pine trees, finding very very few targets as Joe Kress has cleaned it out. I did find a real iffy sound at 10 or 11 inches. I could only get the hit one way, right to left. But I tried it anyway. It was a terrible hard dig with 3 roots each as big as a silver dollar, but at ten inches I found the first lady. And she was sitting. 1856 plain dime but is she pretty. I rechecked the hole and got another hit on the sidewall deeper. So I dug alittle more out and I found the second seated lady. 1878 at least AU condition! I am thinking this spill must have come from the early 1880's. I was so excited I couldn't even dectect anymore. That was the oldest spill I've had in the 15 years I've been dectecting! It was time to do the happy dance!!:happydance01:
I wish I could post a picture of the two lovely ladies, but our camera doesn't seem to want to take any photos of my coins. Everything is blurry!! But I had to tell you all about it anyway.

erfect10: Maybe running all metal and just digging deep targets that pinpoint as small objects might get you some more interesting finds.
