This Weekend my family and I went to Arizona for a week long vacation. We visited a place that we frequented as kids and of course we brought the detectors. My dad had his Cibola with him and I brought my Compadre and Silver Sabre umax I had recently purchased. My brother snatched up my dad's Cibola and my dad was goiing to take the Compadre, but decided to try out my recently acquired Silver Sabre instead. I did not feel cheated having to use the Compadre. I have found some amazing things with my Compadre and will never sell it short when hunting any area. So we are hunting out in the woods and I am hunting around a tree. I get this really good signal with the Compadre. Drill a hole with my screwdriver and stick my pinpointer in. My vibraprobe pinpointer was going crazy and I pop out this dime. My second Rosie since I started detecting, a 1958 D. I hunt mostly parks and schools with a limited amount of time to hunt. It pays to find the older sites, when I have time. We only had a short time to detect as the kids were getting hungry and the wives had been more than patient. My dad found a 1958 nickel as well that day, he gave it to me. I was the only one to find silver. Unfortunately it is not somewhere I can just go back to and hunt anytime I would like. I will be excited to hunt there again if I get the chance. I am sure there are many more silver coins lurking under the surface at this place as it is very old. Good luck and Happy Hunting.
