O.K. some Tennessee silver.:garrett:

[jim tn]

Worked a pretty good stretch of curb turf this morning and ended up with a few keepers. Rather then swinging parallel with the sidewalk and curb, I stood in the street and swung horizontal, swinging from the curb towards the sidewalk. As a result, dug 8 wheat cents, some clad and Memorial's, a 49d Washington quarter and a sterling "made in Siam" ring. Knowing that these curb strips had been hunted, I checked several of the targets swinging from the typical parallel directions and a couple barely chirped and those that did weren't the best sounding. Hence, it does pay to hit good spots from different directions.

I will say with a great deal of conviction that this A T Pro detector just continues to amaze me. Regardless of what coil I use, it simply is one stellar detector for hunting trashy sites. I did have the NEL Sharpshooter on this morning. In the first picture just above the quarter is a tooth like looking piece of iron. The A T hit the Washington quarter with that piece of iron just off to the side of the coin about, maybe 2," at most. Pretty respectful, I would say.

Oh, a little history. Siam is now Thailand and became such in 1948, so the sterling ring has a bit of age to it. HH jim tn

I agree with you jim tn...the AT PRO is a very impressive machine. So far this month clad ($123.77) 4 gold rings {3 (14K) and 1 (18K) } 5 silver rings and 1 silver dime 1964.. The guys who swing the expensive machines here locally.. hates me because I do way better than them. All I can say is learn those tones and knowing when to discriminate ..you'll find plenty of good stuff..happy hunting

Nice finds on the silver quarter and ring. Silver coins continue to elude me this year. You and asiandigger are hitting some good finds.

Thanks for the post; excellent finds! Folks, in trashy urban or non-urban areas with the AT Pro...low and slow. I repeat...low and slow; patience and concentration...patience.

You may start off low and slow, but, after an hour, its difficult. Stop yourself and...low and slow.

Good going Jim! You ALWAYS seem to find good stuff!

Good thinking, Jim- nice payoff, too! I like the old country names better - Persia evokes a very different image than Iran, heh.

Beautiful Siam Silver Jim!! The silversmiths over there (Thailand) do very nice designs in my opinion.

Right on AJ, I have to tell myself to slow down often

Agreed William, and that's a great example!! Another is Burma changed to Myanmar, but I'll always think of dazzling Burma Rubies not Myanmar Rubies

Jim nice going on the ring and quarter. There's plenty of silver here in Tennessee, you just have to find it.

Going down the curbs and sidewalks at a 90 degree angle has been paying off for me for sometime now.

You have to do some thinking to find silver coins in areas that have been hard hit.
