Hard 2 Find
Member
I don't post a lot on this forum because I usually find current clad coins. Now and then a silver dime or quarter. I have also found some rings. But today I found my best find yet. I was at an area I have hunted 3 or 4 times before and never found that much. I was using my X-Terra 705 with the 9" 7.5kHz concentric coil.The first thing I did was to auto noise cancel that registered at 2, then I did a auto ground balance which read 20. Sensitivity set at 15. Now I know that Randy has said that if the ground balance numbers read 28 or higher to use the concentric coil and I should have been using the double D coil with that 20 number. The area I started at didn't have much trash, so I left the coil on. I was hunting in the all metal mode. I found a few memorial pennies, two dimes and a quarter, gun shell casings and some other junk. I was hunting about 2 feet away from the gravel road that comes into this old area, when I got a nice high tone signal that read 46 on the screen. I dug down about 3 or 4 inches and there laid my first silver dollar. The 1887 Morgan silver dollar that I found has a O mint mark. I would like to thank Randy and the rest of you, for all the great information on this forum!
