Howdy--
My hunting buddy and I have a little contest. It's a race to 10 silver coins. We have been doing this for the last 5 or 6 years. It's fun and makes a 1964 Roosevelt more of a significant find. The score was 9-6 in my favor. Last week we hunted a site that had obviously been recently hunted. I could see the telltale signs: the trail of a dragged shovel, and recently filled in holes. I've made a practice of when encountering such sites to re-check any holes. I never know what type of equipment or the skill level of previous hunters are so it doesn't hurt to swing the coil over their hole. Upon re-checking one of these holes I got a solid 19 vdi at 2" and had a VERY easy dig in the soft dirt and there was this 1945-S silver Jefferson. And that put me at 10! We are now back to 0-0 and another race to 10 begins. I thought that I would show my last 10 silver coins. It took me a couple of months to get there and all were found with the V3i with either the 4X6 or 6X10 coil EXCEPT the 1956 Roosevelt which was found with the DFX. I used my DFX on my next hunt after learning of Yazoo's passing. Best of luck and...
Happy Hunting!
