Yeah I made sure that all 3 pieces are .925 stamped before I claimed silver finds this time. I even got lucky with the partial piece on the right just happening to be the part with the stamp. That's the second silver earring back I've found recently although this one was only down about 1-2". Along with the silver I also picked up $ 2.03 in clad, a boardwalk token, a Canadian quarter and a penny, 2 full metal jacketed small cal. slugs, a couple pieces of junk jewelry, a lamb pendant, a large SS ball bearing and a spoon. The back of the spoon reads "United Silver & Co." which was looking good but below that was written "stainless Korea" which didn't look so good.
There was a lot of EMF at the site so I had to run my gain lower than I usually can. Around pre-set to 10. The area was not very trashy so I decided to turn my disc down to no higher than 2 to try and maximize the targets I could hear, especially with the sens. being lower than I would have liked. Seems like it worked O.K.
One last thing. I was just about to cover the area near where I found the .925 earring back in hopes of finding the earring but I was run off by a group of kids that made further hunting impossible. I will be back to check the area early tomorrow before I hit another new spot I mapped out on google earth. I'll let you know if pays off.
