Prism 5 Silver

[Anordstr]

Hello again everybody, just got back from Vegas and Oscoda so I've been away for a few weeks. Glad to be back and out hunting again. So the official count of coins I've found is 159 and I've only found 4 wheats and no silver. Am I doing something wrong? I know my machine isn't the top of the line, however, it's a good machine. ( or so I feel) Does anyone else have this struggle?

Silver is getting harder and harder to find. I doubt you're doing anything wrong, but you may need to do a bit of research and find less hunted, older sites and listen for the deep whispers.

I recently got a Priz 4 and have no comlaints with it. I live in Australia and have to admit that our old silver coins like Shillings, Sixpences and so on are getting harder to find here too. Any amount of old copppers but silvers less so.
Nice little machine the Prizms.

I find the P5 an excellent coin shooter. I have great luck with mine. However I have yet to find anything old to. I keep searching. Still have not found that elusive ring either, but I keep trying. Keep fishing, the old ones are still out there, you/we just have not found them yet.

I am finding heaps of old coins and relics with my Priz 4. Recent finds are two old traders tokens from the mid 1800's, one from Nova Scotia the other an Aussie Peace and Plenty token, a womans broach from the 1800's goldrush days, old triangular key, 1950's threepence (silver in colour but not much real silver in it) a couple of, again goldrush days, belt buckles and a few mid 1900's pennies. I like the Prizm's iron discrimination and find it will ignore a lot more old iron targets than many other machines will. Vs the cheap chinese junkers like out Aussie "goldsnoop" which is really a cheap kids toy the Priz will ignore three times the iron than the stupid Snoop. Turn up the disc on the snoop to do the same and you loose most of your good targets, about 60% of what the Priz will happily still solidly beep on. For what it is I reckon its a great little machine. Im using rechargeable 9.6 volt batts in mine (nimh) and it runs great. Their charge is like using the top end of a really good alk battery or Lithium unlike others which only operate like the bottom end of the same.
