Met up with my dfxer friend (scott aka catskill comics) yesterday and by the time I got there he already had a merc in the bag, so I was behind. I found this rind at~ 8" in sandy soil. It has stones, but IDK if there real. My wife thinks not as she says they usualy leave light behind them to show off the diamond. But it was so deep, I think it would predate zirconium. Anyway, it does say sterling on it.
Then we moved to a grassy strip and he dug another merc. Then I backtracked and found a reasonable signal bouncing between dime/quarter. Pulled out the merc, showed my friend and rescanned the hole...another signal at 1 27. Out came the washington. Told my friend again and asked him to get his small digger as there was another signal in the hole. While he was away, I trimmed the side of the hole and scratched the other merc. Now I had 3 silvers!
He dug another a few minutes later.
I actually had 1 wheat, a few clad quarters (i always dig 00 29 surface signals) and a tab. Not too bad. He ended up w/ 3 merc's. Pretty good for 1.25 hours after work.
Am I happy to finally dig more silver...yes. Do I wish it was older..yes. Hopefully this will happen. I am not sure if they are deeper and i cannot identify them or what is happening.
Also having trouble with iron. If there are 2 pieces of iron and I run my coil in between, there will be a nice sweet sound. When I pinpoint, I notice there is nothing there and it draws me to the iron target. For this reason, i ave to ignore good sounds near iron. Maybe someday I will be able to distinguish, but not now. Any input here is always appreciated.
Went out for an hour tonite to no avail. A huge old park was so iron infested, I could get a good read on anything deep.
