Saturday morning park hunt.:garrett:

Well-known member
Hooked up with tabman and his new A T Pro this morning at one of our older parks. We compared a few targets, one of which happened to be my clipped 44 Mercury and the vdi was spot on (83-84) for him to see what a silver dime would read like. All I am going to say about his hunt is he seemed like he took to the Pro like a duck does to water....and his A T is no longer a virgin old coin detector.

My first silver came not to long after we began our hunt. A 1936 Washington quarter from about 6." About a half hour later I got the 44 Merc. I knew I had dug at least 1 wheat cent, but when I got home and washed the mud off all the coins, I discovered 2 more wheats and a nice surprise, a 1900 I H.

Tabman was still going to do some swinging when I departed so as not to be late for a lunch date with my wonderful spouse. Hope everyone had some good hunting, that could hunt. HH jim tn

And I will be right at your side as well..... Wish we had some good detectorist around my area to learn from. Keep up the good finds Jim. Do most of your silver dimes lock on in that 83-84 VDI all the time? Have yet to get a silver dime or any silver coin other then a washington so am curious as to what to expect.
 
Ben, more often then not a slight worn silver dime will be in the 83-84 range. I have dug well worn ones with an 80 reading and slightly less worn 81 and 82. By the same token, a deep clad dime can be up in that range as well. HH jim tn
 
Looks like it was just another day at the office, eh Jim? :rofl:
