A Silvery first for me.

My water machine is enroute to the md hospital so I decided to warm up the ETrac. Due to the tourist season I have spent the whole time at the beaches and in the water. Been discussing the Etrac lately with a friend who just got one so I loaded up Goes4ever's program and headed out to a favorite park. Got a few older coins and a bit of silver here in the past. A few coins in the pouch and I settle over a 01/42 with a high silver squeal to it. Solid in every way. Got me wondering because the numbers are different to me. 5 inches deep and the numbers don't change. I did remember some older silver US dollars (Peace Dollar and Morgan) were in that range on the ID charts but I'm still a novice with this machine and we wouldn't get many of those up here. I cut the plug and see a touch of silver in the hole. As I pick it up I can't believe the size. Biggest coin I have found. Beat up and obviously hit by a lawnmower so it is in rough shape. 1986 Vancouver BC World Exposition on it. I turn it over and see 999 Fine Silver. Loonie is for seeing the size. Shortly after a 1950 silver dime which I scratched beside George's head. I thank Goes4Ever for his site and those settings. My best silver coin or medal to date. Happy as a clam.
Thanks for looking, good luck and stay safe. A big thank you to Goes4Ever for all the work he has put into his site.

Expo '86! That's awesome man. Looks like it has some heft to it.

Are you in B.C. or a different part of the country?
