    Screen values for small gold coins?

    Hi folks, Soon I'll be taking a mini-vacation to an area where several old sierra mountain gold mining towns exist, and was wondering if anyone here has done any air tests on smaller gold coins? I realize these can vary in size, especially when one considers the ultra small California gold...

    Safari users...dig those low tones!

    Hi folks, Haven't posted my finds for a while and thought I'd better drop in. I visited a park yesterday and because I mainly shoot for silver coins I have a tendency to ignore low tones unless they register +13 or +14. I have dug lower values before but for the most part they generally turn...

    Possible early 1800s silver ring

    Hi folks! Finally got out to do a bit of detecting today in a new wooded area. On my way back to my Jeep I got a sweet +38 signal that sang like a quarter on my Safari, and up from 5" in the ground came this 6.1 gram silver ring with what appears to be a Peridot stone. The only hallmark inside...

    First 2010 silver

    Hey folks! Got out for about an hour and a half today and scored my first silver of the year, a 1952 Rosie down about 5". I'll take it! :detecting: This makes my third silver since moving back to California. Found it in an old park that actually dates 50 years older than the coin itself. Also...

    1902...Woohoo! Post-Christmas silver

    Hey folks! Got a chance to get out again today and return to the old picnic grounds along the Sacramento River where I found a '40 Merc about a week ago. This time I took with me two old timers who go to the same church as me and enjoy the hobby as well. I noticed that one of them was swinging...

    Modest finds...

    Hey folks! My second post of found treasure since moving back into California. I located an old picnic grounds (with tons of trash!!) that dates back to the twenties and is situated along the Sacramento River, but it appears others must have beat me to all the silver save one lone '42 mercury...

    First treasure found after moving back to California

    Hey folks! Finally got a chance to get out this afternoon with the Safari for just a little less than an hour. I found a really small newer park surrounded by a wooded section consisting of small but old oak trees near a creek, around which I chose to detect and not the park area. After...

    My Safari's silver coin finds from Washington

    Hi folks, Not much time at all lately to get out and detect as we've been packing and preparing to move to California by this Friday. So I thought this would be a good time to post all my silver coin finds from the state of Washington since last April. When I first moved here I was told that...

    Slow times...

    Not much to report from SW Washington state as I haven't been able to get out as much due to a new job. However, I did manage to find one silver ring keeper from a soccer field, a 14k plated pendant from a school yard, and an interesting and heavy bust (Teddy Roosevelt or W.C. Fields?) from the...

    Got black powder?

    Went out for just about an hour today to schoolyard #4 (I can't call it silver schoolyard just yet as no silver has been found there), and on the third or fourth signal I pulled up this neat token from the Mendota Coal and Coke company. It's big, about the size of a half dollar, and it was DEEP...

    Silver schoolyard #1 coughs up two more

    Hey folks! I've been out of commission lately with a gnarly head cold, and yesterday was the first day in about a week I actually felt human again. So, I decided to do just a couple hours worth of detecting at the silver schoolyard and netted a beautiful 1944 Mercury dime. One of the nicest...

    Silver schoolyard #1 gives up its fifth silver coin

    I didn't get to post this last night since I got home around dusk, but I went back for about an hour to the first schoolyard where I had already found one silver Washington quarter, one Merc, a Rosie and a war nickel in a small corner of the field. I reasoned that there just might be other...

    Nothing terribly exciting, but some sites still producing

    I haven't posted in couple weeks as I didn't really have much to show for it. But these latest finds are the result of two separate sites. The first set of photos come from the SLQ lot, which is still producing some interesting things every time I detect it. But so far I have failed to find a...

    Hey Safari users!

    Have any of you experimented with air tests on gold nuggets? It sure would be interesting to see what different size nuggets would register both in tone and on the screen of the Safari. Ray

    Quicksilver

    Er, rather, a quick silver dime! Had about a half hour to kill before picking up a pizza tonight and was on my way to the silver schoolyard when I passed by a side street and noticed a sidewalk partly tore up. Took out the Safari and in less than ten minutes had myself 3 wheaties and a 1927S...
