Medium and Small Size Silver:heh:

It pales in comparison to that Big Silver that someone just found and posted. I found this using manual sensitivity, FTF pretty much my normal setup. I had just bumped up the sensitivity to around 26 and was hoping that I could make something appear out of the ground. This ended up being only a couple inches deep so I doubt sensitivity had much to do with it, so it was more likely the angle of attack. The quarter was near a couple of spoons about the same depth so I am imagining the same vintage. I also was luck enough to find one little 1899 Indian on the way back to the car



Check out the video of recovering the quarter if you like.

Is FTF two tone Ferrous?

I should have said Combined.

Wow, the Barber is in great shape. What a fantastic coin!

 

[GKMan]

yes it is thanks it sure did clean up beautiful.I feel bad for the detectorists of the future, who is going to want to dig up a corroded clad coin in 50 years.on second thought they will probably have rotted away by then or we won't even use coins anymore.

I agree, that quarter is outstanding...

Great lookin coins.

I think that we at probably the luckiest of all detectorists. We are living right at this moment when the best technology, ever, is at our fingertips. We're finding deep old coins that the generation gone by could not have found. Yes, they probably picked up a lot of easy silver like we dig clad now, but the older stuff was out off their reach. I think that within the next 2 to 3 decades it will tough to find much. So, I say, seize the moment!!!!

Very nice BQ! The CTX's recovery speed maybe made the difference separating it out from those spoons - congrats!
