AT Pro :garrett: I Was In Silver Heaven Today:detecting:

[tabman]

But I couldn't find one single silver coin. I went back to the area where I found the 1906 Barber Dime a few days ago to see if I could find some more old silver coins. I dug and dug and the only old coins that I found were Wheat Pennies (1940, 1944, 1954, 1920, 1957, 1952, 1941, 1950, 1944, 1957). I must of dug over hundred coins in my search for a silver coin, but I came away empty handed. Maybe next time. I was using the pro zero mode with full sensitive. 5 x 8 inch coil.

That's a lot of digging! Very well done on the Wheats! Seems like you are fluent in several languages with your arsenal!

Next time you will find a virgin strip that will produce multiple silvers!!!

 

[Wandering Yoda]

Well the "no silver" wasn't from lack of trying tabman, that's a lot of patient digging there!! Surely silver will shine next time

It can be a fickle hobby at times for sure. A 1920 wheat is a keeper for this old boy up here.

Maaan! You certainly were in the right old dirt! lookat that junk shot! Looks like a watch fob in there too? Those screw offs are a real stopper, they sound like big silver to me!

I dug a lion's share of deep copper memorials pennies. Those 7+ inch memorials sound like silver to me. The Barber Dime that I found on the previous hunt there was only a few inches deep, so you just never know. Mud has gotten me to checking those weird signals for coins spills. I found couple of them. One of them had 5 quarters, 2 dimes and a few pennies. The other one had around a dozen or more of copper memorial and wheat penny mix covering a 1 1/2 square foot area and most of them were around 7 inches deep. I just kept digging, believing each signal could be a silver coin. It wore me out. You'd think that there would have been at least one silver coin in all that. At any rate the weather was perfect and I had a great time.

That's the main thing! Or at least that's what everyone tells me, lol. I bet you get em next time! A delayed reward for all that hard work.

You had a great day and I'm tired just reading about all those coins you dug. I'm burying some coins in jars and letting them be undisturbed for a few months to see how they might sound. Hate to miss a cache thinking it was a large piece of metal or something.
A handful of those zinc pennies should sound like the old zinc canning lids they used back during the civil was or after and might just turn up something I skipped over due to being tired more than lazy. Some jars will be separated by dimes, nickels, copper & zinc pennies
and quarters and some will be mixed up with some of everything. I'm also putting some different types of jewelry together to see how they might sound all mixed up together instead of finding them one by one. I won't be leaving the jewelry out very long like the coins. Just another was to improve my detecting skills. HH.

I'd love to find a jar full of old silver coins. Maybe throw in a few gold ones to really sweeten the pot.

Hi Tabman,

Don't feel bad, I've dug 1200 coins from a local park, and only one silver quarter so far! Still a lot of fun even without the silver.

Got to have some hunts like that to make other hunts really give you a boost! By the looks of things on your plate, you found some other interesting pieces of jewelry and a watch or key fob?

Looks like a good day out as I see you have quota. Good luck on the silver next hunt!
