BACKYARD HUNTS

I received my 950 stock coil for my DFX this morning so I decided to try it out in my backyard.  I wasn't expecting to find anything since I've hunted it with my prizm II and IDX pro.  I got a hit around 71 -72 and I thought another piece of siding.  So I used a shovel to dig and check the pile - the object was there.  I looked for it and then saw some silver - I picked it up and it was a mercury dime.  I couldn't believe it. I probably went over it with the other detectors thinking it was junk since I found plenty of siding.  Part 2 I was at my niece's house where I had found a silver Washington before.  Her neighborhood was a having a garage sale and as always we put some things in it and I hunted her back yard with my "new" coil.  Found 3 wheat pennies and clad quarter I know I missed with the IDX.  These coins were deep. I hope I can get out tomorrow and try the coil some more.  I hunted my yard again and found a clad dime.
