Well done, probably was a crazy signal with all that silver as well, plenty of people would have missed that and thought can-slaw!

Actually it was a 72- 73 on the f4, and a solid signal, thought it was going to be another 2 cents, was 3 inch deep, dug it and found 1 and put plug back in, re scanned and found another, put plug back in re scanned and then another, must have been stacked on top of each other with a layer of dirt in between. Re scanned again and there was another signal around 64 but faint, so pin pointed the spot on Google maps and will go back another time to check it out
I've been tagging on g maps all the good finds to sus out social activity, might be a clue to other finds somewhere lol
