Still feeling sick,it's over a week that I have this cold. Still crazy I had to get out yesterday, temp was about 37 and the wind was blowing through my shorts.
I decided to try the fringe area around a picnic area. I have hit this area many times hoping to get in between trash and pull up a cool find.
I got a few signals in one spot and pin pointed and area to dig. Up comes the 1939 wheat cent, then using my pin pointer while still on my knees I pull up two pieces of scrap and then at the bottom of the hole out comes the buffalo nickle. I scan the hole again and nothing. So I cover it up and scan near by and another signal said quarter - I was surprised - it turned out to be a 1940 wheat cent. So I figure that is why no one found these coins over the years. Too close together and trash mixed into the coil field.
The other two wheat cents were individual targets. So in all I came home with four wheat and the buffalo, I was tired and cold but I though to myself it beats sitting watching TV.
Good luck to all out there and hopefully the next time I find cooler finds.
No brag on my part - just crazy but it was fun.......
