What weird places did silver fall on your ID screens?

This year I got a Barber Dime that would only ID a bouncing 20 to 21 on Digital. It was a good 10"-11" Deep and worn. The reason I investigated this Target was that I had been finding Wheats and Silver in this area at the same Depths and I wanted to know what would be giving me such a weird signal. I dug down and at about 11", out popped a worn out Barber Dime! Now that was one sweet find and one I will never forget!
I also once dug a Merc Dime that was about 6" Deep. The thing about this Merc was that it was in a Total Null, No Signal at all! I was looking down at the ID Screen and seen a 28 come across without a peep. I kept swinging the Coil over this Target and it was a Solid 28 but without any kind of Signal coming from it but a Null. I decided to check it out and it turned out to be a Merc Dime sitting with a bunch of Iron.
One more weird signal here! I once got a War Nickel that read 25 on Digital! War Nickels should read a lot lower than this but for some reason, the ground had leached out some of the Manganese from the Coin (that's what I was told) making the Silver Content seem more Conductive thus reading so high. I got it out of the ground thinking Indian Head and it was the War Nickel. Talk about Weird!!!
After cleaning it, I dropped it onto the counter it the normal sound was gone from the Coin. It almost sounded like dropping a piece of Plastic onto the counter. That's another Coin I will never forget about finding either. Good Luck and HH!

I was in a dead null...and trash was everywhere with the iron. This is the exact spot I make a beeline for though wherever I go...because I know many others have given up and gotten frustrated...or can't deal with their machine nulling.
My cursor was like a pinball machine...bouncing and fluttering everywhere. It started below pulltab...then bounced towards iron...then back down where nickels hit...then up towards indian heads.
The sound though in that one spot was sweet..and when I hit pinpoint ID on my SE...the cursor bounced around the top right to top center...so I knew I had a shot at something good.
My best finds over the last 2 years have come from sweet sound and a fluttering, unpredictable cursor placement.
Around my parks...if you rely on cursor placement or numbers flashing...you will more than likely end up with not much in the pouch.
Sound absolutely rules...hands down. Cursor placement is a second weapon to use on deep iffy hits...and my pinpoint ID feature is weapon #3 on my SE that helps me decide whether or not to dig the iffy signal.

I'm not familiar with the SE as I'm still plugging along with my good "ole" XS. You said that you were in a dead null. If you were as you say in a dead null then does the SE still detect in a dead null making your cursor bounce all over the place or was it just when you got a possible good sound and I assume the null stopped when you went into pin-point. Might seem like a stupid question, but I'm sure that you can set me straight on it. Thanks.

Eddie...Once I get into a section of a site where the SE constantly nulls...I know I'm over an iron infested spot. I just slow down to a creep. I already hunt super slow anyway...so in a spot where I'm nulling....I almost come to a standstill and just scan the ground.
I can't speak for everyone else...but with the settings I run and what I've trained my ears to hear...if I'm going slow enough...even while in a null...the SE will give let a signal come through the nulling over a deep coin while amongst the iron.
While nulling I get no cursor movement...no sound...no nothin'
...and about the time I start thinkin'..."Oh crap...I'm missing something"....I will get a sound coming through the nulls. It might be a chirping...a falsing...a warble...etc...but it's up to me to sttop and investigate the sound I hear.
I will pass the coil over the chirp, warble, sound, etc...and if it repeats on the return pass...I'll give it another sweep from a different direction. If it repeats on the sweep and return sweep...I then repeat these steps with the pinpoint on the SE because it ID's in this mode.
If the cursor moves towards towards iron...I walk.
If the cursor stays or moves to anywhere on the right side of the screen....I'm diggin'

I have an XS. When I first got the machine, everyone was telling me that silver would be in the upper right corner of the screen. I got a hit that was all the way to the right but about halfway down the screen. I thought it might be an Indian Head but it turned out to be a heavily tarnished Barber dime at only three or four inches. I also found a Franklin Half (the only one I've found so far) that was giving a nice "chirp" but the signal was bouncing. It turned out that there was part of an aluminum can right next to it. You just never know where things will turn up - it all depends on the ground conditions, iron and trash content, etc. The key is to go slow and listen just like Bryce and James do. Happy hunting to all.
