Thx again guys for the support. Badger, great tips for finding coins,etc. There's gotta be at least one! I'll have to dedicate a full day to sifting some time soon. Or alternate dig and sift. Hey Kevin good to hear from you. We'll touch base soon.

I started boxing up most of my finds from this summer that I don't display and have them labeled by site for reference.

If you can afford it then upgrade to a newer machine. You'll still get overload signals from buried tin cans and such but if there isn't a lot of metal trash then use the metal detector. I have a swinging sifter on an oversized saw horse set up. I can sift a 5 gallon bucket at a time. If the dirt is good then I can sift a couple hundred gallons in an hour. Swiz

Now that's the kind of sifter I need! One of those fancy swinging ones that archaeologists use.

Here's a good site for them: http://www.archaeologicalsupply.com/

You sound like a sifting master Swiz! There is quite a bit of metal trash in this site and a lot of the bottles have some rust stains which is frustrating.
