I got up early this morning to see if I could find some silver. As I was about to shut the garage door, I decided to get out of the car and go back in the house and rub my Genie for good luck. I haven't been rubbing my Genie lately to prove that there's nothing special about the Genie. I haven't been finding any silver lately either, it could be just a coincidence. Any how I headed out to one spot that has produced some silver coins in the past, but I all I found today was a bunch of zinc coins, 3 wheat pennies and some kind of pin that was once gilded. I decided to leave there and go back and try the location that has super high EMI. The only two detectors that I have that will halfway work there are the Cibola and Vaquero. I dug a few wheat pennies and a pewter pendant. Finally, I got a faint deep signal and dug down around 7 inches or so and popped a 1925 Mercury Dime. Today's wheat pennies(1927, 1946, 1923, 1927, 1936, 1918 1942 ) It took me finding 20 wheat pennies before popping a silver coin.

I was using the 8 inch doughnut coil, with full sensitive, threshold set at a sight hum, discrimination set to where a foil cap just breaks up, and the GB slightly negative.

I don't think there's anything special about the Genie, but I'm going to start giving her a good rubbing before I head out just for the fun of it.:)

It's hard to tell. I have it in a jar of olive oil soaking with some other relics and coins. It was really corroded.

Tabv thats a very nice Merc, glad to see you back at it .
 
Thanks everyone. Every time I dig a wheat penny it just gets me fired up to dig some more, because I know that there has to be some silver there as well. Finding 20 wheat pennies without finding a single silver coin is a record for me. Right now my favorite setup is either my Vaquero or modded Cibola with the NEL Sharpshooter Coil. For some reason this setup handles EMI really well. Couple that with good ground coverage and good depth makes for some really fun swing time. I'm setting for the year at 80+ silver coins, 30+ pieces of silver jewelry, 6 gold rings, and a bunch of neat relics. Some of my favorites non-gold finds, a civil war buckle plate, a couple of Reale Coins and a decorative ornate silver piece. It's super hard to beat the excitement of unearthing a gold ring. I swing a few different brands of detectors that work at finding stuff, but nothing comes close to the fun factor that Tesoro detectors offer.
