Another silver day metal detecting in a hunted out park

Drove down to metal detect with DirtFishDave (219erMan)this weekend, we detected this place a few weeks ago when we got the double trifecta of silver coins. We pounded it hard last time when we pulled 8 silver's from it but we hit it again this time even slower than last time. This time we were swinging our metal detectors like 1 swing every 5 seconds so we wouldn't miss anything. I got all 4 of my silver before Dave got his 1st. No signal was a normal coin signal at regular swing speed, thats why we were crawling along at a snails pace while we detected. Even then the place was so trashy that we were just digging iffy signals left and right. and at the end of our 8ish hour hunt we both had a mountain of garbage. This was my best wheatie day at 17, the wheats are 1914-1958. The old coins were on average of 4 inches and a max of maybe 5 or 6 inches, I found the rosie in a super super super trashy spot at only 2 inches max. The pix below is all of my old coins, be sure to watch the video to see what Dave found. I also found $2.37 in clad. I hope everybody had a chance to get out and metal detect this weekend!!!
