Silver is nice!

[Anonymous]

Found this nice 1906 Half Dollar in the front yard of an old farm house that was being renovated. This spring I found a 1907 Half there. I was using my Explorer metal detector while detecting with my son-in-law Dan. I was hunting in Iron Mask Mode set at -10. I dig ALL repeatable signals.
The scratches are from the person carrying it in his pocket as you can see, the coin is worn. Dan found a beautiful Merc. dime as well. Silver is always a thrill!

Hey Jim,
Your picture did not make it onto the post. There's just a white box with a red x in the middle of it.
Great job on the two halves!! That's pretty impressive.
I thought about digging all repeatable signals too, but I collect in a local city park that has thousands of pulltabs. I guess I could be digging all repeatable coin-range high signals though! I admit that I get tired of digging all the nails, so I try and listen for obvious nail sounds. One signal I listen for is if the area of signal occurrence is way too big to be a coin even when it sounds like a coin. I just figure it is a long rusty nail. Another rusty nail sound type is the one where there is a silent area with a coin tone on each side of it. It sounds like the nail is in the middle (silence) with one false coin signal located on each end of the nail.
Any suggestions on what rusty nails sound like?
