Rural Playground: IH, Buffalo, and Wheats

[Keith / Kirkpa / Steelers1985]

I got out detecting yesterday with Blitz and Zoyboy. We decided to hit the old rural playground. It payed off once again! I found 4 old coins. I found a 1920 Buffalo nickel at 4", an 1864 Indian Head at 2.5", and 2 Wheaties. I now found 2 1864 Indian Heads this year--my total is now 29 for the year ! I found 6 Buffalo nickels this year with this one being my oldest to date. This ground is one of the worst I have detected in. There are a lot of "phantom" signals. I guess other detectorists were not that patient to pick between the trash .

We were told by a local resident that on the land we were detecting there use to be an old clubhouse. The building use to be 2 stories high and had an outhouse. We will have to hit the outhouse area next!

good finds

Yes, I know the approximate location. How should we attack that area?

Awsome finds Attack the area from a 10' x 10' grid, Go north then south, east and west, and then go ns,ew,nw,sw,ns,etc... go in circle the last thing you do(that will cover that good) Going in circles will get the coins that are on edge.
