10 Silvers and 8 Wheats today.

Today was the first day the rain has let up in a week now and it is supposed to rain the next 3-4 days so I thought if I was gonna get out for a while I better do it today and I'm glad I did. The ground was moist and some spots were very saturated. It took me a couple hours to find my first silver because the combination of the new MSC Ratphones ( I'm not used too ) and the wet ground conditions everything was sounding a bit different. Once I got the first silver and heard what it sounded like I dug the rest in about 2 more hours. I was getting some deep targets for sure with the SLQ at 11" in the hole with a huge nail thus the scratch on the face DANG!! oh well. This ties my personal best silver count for one day, I was really hoping to find number eleven but my battery on the Etrac played out and I didn't bring extras. Which was fine because my butt was kinda dragging after 4 hours of digging anyways. Hope you guys enjoy.

John, I'm amazed at your silver finds. Way to go! I have a question for you. Do you dig all the coin signals you get or just the deep ones you think might be silver?

 

[Gold Nuggets]

Oh Yeah!!!!!! Silvers and wheats.. love the combination.
You had a great day.....Congrats.. Gold Nuggets

Gibsondan I usually try to keep an eye on the depth meter and just dig coin signals over 5" deep unless it has that silver sound, I try to leave the shallow coins for the other guys. However I dug a Merc at 2" last week, I would have normally walked right over it because of the depth but it just sounded to dang good.

John, I found a stand liberty quarter at 2 inches... So I don't pass up anything.

Magicman was very proud of that "standing liberty'. He called me over to brag about it, I mean see it just laying there in such a shallow hole.

Magicman congrats on the SLQ they are hard to find. This is only the third one I've ever found since I started detecting in the late 1970's. I would normally dig all coin signals on most old sites, except this old fairgrounds I was hunting last night has so much fill dirt and gravel added in the later years. One merc at 2" ( last week ) is the only shallow older coin I have ever found there. Most of the old coins in this location are 6" -11" and don't come easy, most have to be chipped out from below the layer of gravel.
