First silver ring with the v3

[burlbark]

I got my first silver ring with the v3i today at +8" down. It is a dainty little ring, 2.4grams.

I set my vdi's to 15-45 and 78-94 and then would use the analyze mode to see if the 15-45 signals where hitting on the 22.5. This way all the zinc pennies didnt have to get dug and I could be sure I was not passing on gold. Zinc pennies stand up really strong with the 7.5 frequency, I know I may miss some gold this way but I had allot of ground to cover.

I ended up pulling 13.20$ in clad. I was really only trying to dig quarters. $11.75 of them.

The ring was underneath a quarter. I got a strong hit of around 92 and thought wow must be silver. I pulled the quarter out of the hole and then scanned again for another quarter and I got the high vdi again. So I started digging and out it came. Silver getting machine this is.

Small silver coins like the half dime will hit hard on the 7.5kHz as will Indian heads and also the old silver Canadian 5 cent pieces. If I'm in an area where there's some history I'll go for them deeper zinc type signals.

Absolutely....

This has been a low income apartment complex since the mid 70's. I know there is gold there and plan on going back and taking my time. I passed up most of the dimes because there were so many quarters. Half the Mexican children that were watching me had anywhere from 4-10 grams of 14k on there wrists or necks. The place is going to be a gold mine in a couple of years...

Any kids can wear jewelry and it all isn't 14K or even real. Nice ring. Rob

It is usually the Hispanic crowd around here that adorns their children in Gold. I myself was raised in a half Hispanic/Mexican family and wore gold. I also took my first treasure hunting trip with my Foster Dad. I rarely saw any on the other neighborhood kids wearing any.

It is more of a cultural thing and people should be aware of it if they are detecting and looking for areas of high opportunity. Ethnicity is often relevant, just like on the annual census

Hey Burl,

Nice finds. I found one similar, real small almost a size for a younger child.
good clad count as well.
