Im so excited, finally got my second silver. Decided to try a different spot that has a little more age, an old school/ballpark that dates to about 1916. The school was no longer used after 75 and has since been remodeled and turned into a community building. The old ball park has been kept up and is still currently used for little league and summer corec softball tournaments. There was lots of targets, nobody really does much detecting around here so there is a ton of clad and shallow pull tab targets, fair amount of can slaw also from the corec tournament drunks. Wasnt finding much on the field itself so decided to hit the 3rd base side area where people have sat in lawn chairs and such. After digging tons of shallow clad and nothing old i got a good hit, honestly it didnt sound much different to me then a clad dime but im sure with some experience i may be able to tell it apart, i did notice however the crosshairs seemed to be pegged to the low ferrous (Right) edge of the smartscreen instead of being a couple spots over like on the clad. About 5 inches down and i see it laying flat and i got this huge grin on my face, it was obvious it was silver and i could see that it was large. I dont know a ton about coins but i think its a 45 walking half. I am stoked as the only other silver i have found was the 60 rosie about a month ago. I am going to start hitting this area most of the time for now instead of the local fairgrounds. One question i have tho, i seem to have a hard time pinpointing shallow clad. I can pinpoint a coin thats down say 4 inches way easier then one thats on the surface or just under the grass roots. I wonder if the fact that the ground is so wet from the melting snow isnt part of it. It seemed like shallow clad was just blowing my eardrums off, the unit seemed to be very chattery even in semi auto sens. Thanks for looking , and slowly i will get the hang of this machine. Thanks, Sam
