A bummed out day but got some silver......

[Old Katz]

Went back to an old house built in 1865. I was led to believe it was a virgin
site but I don't think so. I spent hours there only to find a few wheat cents, a ton of junk, and
a 1957 silver quarter. Someone else must have already been there.At least that lifted my spirits a little.

I used the 6x10DD because the 9.5 was getting to many hot rock readings.

I did get some ocasional deep 12 inch readings but the readins were irratic jumping around
all over the place so I assumed they were probably junk. SInce I was useing the 6x10DD my guess is that
the deep 12 inch signals were probably larger items, probably large chunks of metal or tin cans.

Question to you, the experts: Should I go back with the whites 12 inch coil? I wonder just how deep the old stuff is.Or
would that be a waste of time.

Any thoughts?

Go back never leave a site if you find silver. Patience patience listen for the low sounds the dd is a super coil I love mine was out today and found .75 cents in one hole ground was frozen but got it all two quarters two dimes and a nickel no silver oh well .

Nice GW.

I'd say there's more there. Keep it slow and dig any signal that even gives a hint of silver. I love a jumpy signal that hits the high 70's and low 80's AND is 5-7 inches down...

If it's close by, why not hit it with another coil. Over and over and over again! I might tend to go with a smaller coil though and dig every deep signal! Would love to see some old nickels come out of there. Hey, that's a good year on that silver quarter! HH, Nancy

Nice find on the silver. I would try the place again in the future with a different coil for sure.
