The first time that I detected this small front yard (approximately 30' x 40' grassy area) I found 25 wheat pennies and 50+ modern clad coins, but NOT one single silver coin, so I didn't post pictures of my finds that day. I knew that there just had to be silver in that front yard with that many wheat pennies being found.
Today I went backed armed with my trusty MXT-Pro with a 6" x 8" search coil attached. Right off I got a quarter reading and popped a sterling silver locket that's 12k gold plated. Not long after that I found a 1961 Rosie dime and ended up finding 27 MORE wheat pennies. Along the edge of the driveway, I got my search coil over a 1945 Mercury dime. I went back over the curb strip and got a signal that I thought was going to be yet another wheat penny, but it turned out to be a really thin 1920 Mercury dime.
In two hunts that small front yard produced 175+ coins including a sterling locket, a Rosie dime, 2 Mercury dimes, and 52 wheat pennies. Being tired and worn out, I headed for the house after a short hunt. I might go back.
