Finally some silver. 1920s Mercury

I guess it really is true. You cant find silver unless you put your coil over it. My detecting buddy took my wife and I into a new spot.

The logging camp was from the 20's and was absolutely full of trash and axe heads. But under one little bush right in the middle of it all I found a sweet 1920s dime. Never again shall I complain about only finding Mercury dimes. Depth was around 5" and there was so much iron I could only swing back and forth a couple of inches between targets using the d2 coil. It pinpointed nice and tight, vdi around 78. Tough hunting ground but worth the effort. I dig all positive conductors hoping for a gold coin...maybe some day.

The v3i only fooled me one time today with one iron nail and I was rushing at the end. It is remarkable, the depth and target separation allowed me to grab brass rivets from Levi jeans at 4". Those little buggers sound just like a wheat cent, but I dont mind finding them. For some reason round shapes like the rivets and coins just lock on so much better than any thing else.
 
Congratulations on your success.
 
Nice find ...
