    Hey all. It's been a while since I posted a detecting thread. Anyways, I've been all over my 1/3-acre land (home built 1959) with my older machine with some luck, but most finds were between a few inches to about 6 inches. Now, with my new machine (Nokta Simplex), I'm finding wheat cents as deep as my small shovel is or more! Now that I see those results, it's time to hopefully re-visit some of my previous spots. I can't wait! :jawdrop: There's a perfect spot for this. A house location where there use to be a house that was built in the mid to late 1800's. :) In previous times, I have found several Wheaties and a couple Indian head cents. Even if it's been detected before, there's still a chance for more to find even deeper.
    Here are my coins from today. 1916, 1941 and 1942. No mint marks.
    Wish me Luck!! Comments welcome.... ;)

    Awesome! I hope you find some great stuff. It's been super rainy and wet here. Haven't found even a clad coin in a while.
