First Silver with MXT Pro

After two months of hunting I finally found my first silver coins. Not too sure about the Netherlands coin. Any information on it would be helpful! I think I'm finally learning the MXT Pro. I know I've gone over the spots where these coins were buried at least twice. Pretty sure my hunting buddy went over the spots as well with his F2! I've found a few wheats and lots of clad in this yard (112 year old farm house) and a truck load of trash. I thought silver had to be there and it was! Persistence paid off today! HH!
 
wow, thats a cool coin! congrats on both. I wonder why its 25 cents yet barely any larger than a dime? Its just weird that they call it 'cents' if everything else is another language.
 
I know! The coin appears to have a "P" below the date and so it was minted in Philadelphia. Still, I was very happy to see silver in the ground!
 
Great Finds Boydashus:

I've had my MXT Pro for 3 months now and haven't found any silver. Got quite a few wheat back cents so the silver should be coming soon.

Did the two coins show up on the VDI and Icon or were they the faint signal in threshold in the mixed mode?

Yep, the silvers will eventually show up. Or I should say you'll eventually see the ones you're passing over! LOL! I know I've bypassed some (two for sure) without knowing. The Netherlands coin and the Merc both came up as 1cent,10 cent. Netherlands VDI'ed 77 at 5" and the Merc VDI'ed 78 at 3". I think making sure the MXT is properly ground balanced and then locked helped me see these two silvers. The yard I'm hunting is full of trash and I think it's what folks describe as "highly mineralized soil". The MXT Pro was set to C&J, Gain/DISC at the recommended triangle presets, Threshold to barely audible, Track=Locked. White's 6X10dd Eclipse Coil swinging low and SLOW with headphones! Ground balance is KEY (I'm convinced anyway)! HHS, John.

You're right, it was minted in Philadelphia. Also, it is 64% silver.
Beaten during WWII in Philadelphia by the Dutch government for rehabilitation of the money in the Netherlands after the liberation.

Those are beauties! Congrats on the silver finds and I know you'll find many more. HH, Nancy
 
The MXT Pro (and M6 and MXT) are really excellent detectors for hunting any site, especially trash-infested challenges.

I have four White's models that ride along with me in my vehicle to be ready for any opportunity that arises, but the all-around #1 detector is the MXT Pro, to which I keep a 6
