At Last

[Coinseeker 78]

I have been perusing the elusive silver coin for 11 months with my MXT. I even sought help in the last few days from many of the fine members of this forum. I put many of there suggestions to use yesterday in a hunt with my detecting buddy around Anderson and Pendleton IN. Well thanks to the sage advice my goal was finally achieved. MXT rocks!!! We were working a city park in Pendleton IN. and found some clad when all at once I got an 85VDI at 5 inches. All of the other VDI readings were at 82 to 83 VDI readings which resulted in a clad quarter and can slaw. at 2 to 3 inches. I just knew the 85 VDI had to be silver. I pinpointed and dug and there it was in all of its shining glory my first silver quarter. My faith renewed in the ability of the MXT to fine silver. Here are the pictures along with some clad and a toy auto found at a Tot Lot.

Wow! Congrats!!!

Is this your very first silver coin? And a QUARTER, no less! I had to go through several dimes before my first quarter. Where you find one silver coin there's usually several more hiding around there somewhere.

When you get really familiar with the MXT, go over that area again in Prospecting Mode. It kind of forces you to go really slowly and carefully and it'll be like finding a totally new site.
