Silver coins have been tough coming by for me so far this year, but silver jewelry is starting to add up. Took the faithful Omega to one of my older and trashy spots that she hadn't been to before. At least on this particular area, anyway. I started out with the 10" coil as I was swinging it yesterday. Although it did a great job on bottle caps, which this site is loaded with, it was just seeing to many targets. I switched to the small 5" and it started to sneak up on a few older coins. Even with the small coil, on many of the targets from various directions all I was getting was a brief high tone tic and whimper, with mid tones and grunts intermingled. One of those tic's turned out to be a bottle cap and the 925 silver locket in the same hole. I recovered the bottle cap from about 3" in the clod and rescanned the dirt and hole and got a good high tone hit from the hole. From about another inch deeper out popped the silver locket. There is something inside the locket, but it is still wet so I haven't messed with that just yet. All in all, I ended up with 5 wheat cents, 12 60's and 70's Memorial cents, 4 clad dimes and some junk jewelry and a bunch of trash. The gold item which appears to be a Religious medal did give me a start. That is the 2nd similar of those I have dug of late. The Omega was a bit chattery from some near by power lines, but was fairly stable while sweeping. I ran sen 90, disc 1, d3 tones, frequency 3 and a g b of 52-55. HH jim tn

That is a cool locket! And a great find with the bottlecap! 
We cant wait to read what is folded up in there! Its like a little mystery, is it a love letter? Is it a phone number list for emergencys? Is it a prayer of some sort? Jim, now I would really like to know why you hunt with sens up that high in the trash? Havn't you found it better turned down low like I run? I may be doing something wrong, remember, I'm pretty new to this, am I running too low for shallow targets in the trash?...please tell.

using the 5 you should go slow,and "listen" intently for
"any" high tone sound.if the sound is "co-mingled" with other
lower tones,this is usually,but not always indicative of the detector
seeing both junk,and good find in same hole "very" close to each other!
just sayin'
