Silver Streak keeps rolling....

...and I'm loving the ride. When I uncovered the gold cross all I could say was " no way ! " and as it turned out I was right. It's plated but was still a thrill to uncover. It took a minute to get my heart re-started. I actually made my find of the day right before the cross. The small item on the top right is an earring back stamped .925 and it has that dark grey shellac "old look" to it. I swear I dug that thing up from every bit of 6' maybe even 7' in wet sand. I know that isn't world-class but I felt pretty triumphant when I finally located it. The pinpoint was so tight I thought it was trash but I figured "why not" and after sifting the signal 3 times I finally cornered it. The heart pendant looks like silver but there's no stamp so I'm not sure. I can't believe how much silver this "gold machine" has been finding.
Also hunted some coastal cliffs and found a little clad. Oldest coin was a 64' penny. Best finds were a key-tip, a small fishing weight, a .25 cal. (I think) slug, and a small polished piece of abalone shell. The shell is a good sign as it may mean there was an old R.R. camp in the vicinity. I'll let you know if I find it. Hope you like my finds.

Great going Scott, sounds like to had a very exciting day :thumbup:
Were you in your relic or coin & jewelry mode?. I'm trying both at the moment, but I think I prefer the C & J when it comes to hunting coins.

Regards
 
Yahoo Scott! Great finds and isn't it great how small of items you can get with that MXT. You're doing great and I love hearing about your finds! Thanks for posting, Nancy
 
Thanks ladies. Kathleen, I was hunting in Coin & Jewelry mode. With the 6x10 I can usually run the Sens. just a little below max ( +2-1/2 to +3 ) and the Disc. I try to keep at around 2 to 2-1/2. I have been trying out hunting in relic mode but have not gotten used to it yet. I am getting pretty comfortable at finding and identifying targets with the 6x10 in C/J and I'm leery about changing things up cuz I'm having a lot of fun & success. It's great when you can start deciphering what confusing & iffy signals mean when you get comfortable with your equiptment.
From what I've read I may be losing a little depth by not using relic mode but I'm not digging real deep targets as a rule...yet. I'm working my way down and when I start regularly hunting sites with deep targets, I'm sure the relic mode and I will be getting very well acquainted. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your finds. From what you've posted so far it looks like you're going to find some great stuff.....soon.

Great finds, I have the 6x10 & used it alot until I got the 4x6 dd you can't cover the ground as fast but I love it.
 
Hey bula, I plan on getting the 4x6 as soon as finances permit. I have purchased a used 5.3 but have been getting disappointing results so far. I'm not sure if the coil is not working properly or if it is just my inexperience. I'll have to look into it some more but as I said, after the success I've been having with the 6x10 I'm definitely going to invest in a 4x6.
