I can always count on legal's "finds" for a good laugh, and so can just about every other person on this site. 
If he wants to prove me wrong, I welcome him to drive into Indianapolis and show me how to find 5 walkers and multiple gold rings each trip out, as well as $20 in clad on top of all of that.

Thanks Jack!!.no problem on the pic of rings ,,,,,,,,i dont need to prove anything to them ..all i wanted to do is show that coins still exist and the mine lab will get them. And of course i was proud of the fact that i found that many coins in 2 days ..I just got the big head for a day .LOL

First of all ,i have hunted several weeks without even finding a wheaty,,,Second consider changing your settings, and consider changing your attitude you will be happier and live longer . Third .Ill dig with you any day ....but what i find or not find will be up to the gods..If i dig junk all day ill still have fun ..happy hunting!!!
justdigit said:
I've also dug 2 gold rings and 2 silver halfs - and folks saw me. BUT, that's not the claim here - IN FACT not even close. If a park has been abused for 40 years and it just so happens that 100's of hunters missed a part you could have one great day. ONE! Your previous posts though.........
--------------------------------------
So I just set my Explorer to 30 manual sens, put a walker under the sweet spot of the pro coil... it will overload if you're touching the walker AND not moving. If you swing it, it won't OL. You separate them by even 1/8 inch and it won't overload at 2" three of them together won't overload. That means these are surface coins? AND it means you dig crushed cans normally.
and this.....

2 of those are SELDOM (actually WAY LESS than seldom) carried in a pocket for someone to lose and one is a PRISTINE morgan. AND the gold rings all have stones, aren't bent, and you dug them at a park that is a 100 years old?

Who's meeting me in Richmond this week?

Well, i dont know what you want me to say, but for your info , a few of the rings were bent,missing stones , As for the morgans they were 5 to 6 inches deep, dont know what else to say, and i think i gave those to jack and tim.Last year i dug 60 gold rings along with a pickup load of foil and pull tabs .some days thats all i got ...So suite your self , if you dont think what im saying is fact then so be it..thats your right ,but it is also my privilege to post here .ANd i only do because jack and derrell asked me too ...However, ill think before i post the next time .thanks for your input.

What is with these guys Jack?.........I think they see what i post But dont realize the time i went with out finding anything,
Dave, when you look at the numbers its hard to imagine, you also left out you were basically hunting a virgin area. You have found more big silver than many ever find, luck, hours digging or whatever. I've got a whopping two silver halves and found them back to back days. These guys here try to figure out the how and why. I have hunted with you and have seen you dig silver halves, seen you dig American Eagles not even in circulation, but when four other guys are finding them including two by DerrellD, then you believe...these guys doubt and express what they are thinking, you take the bad comments with the good.
I hope I'm wrong somehow, but after reviewing those other messages, I don't think I am.
Originally I said to myself "must have gotten into an area that was just scraped or cleared of brush, and got really lucky. And there was some other guy a while back who posted about finding15 halves."
Now I realize after seeing the links to the other messages, it was the *same fellow* who posted about finding the 15 halves. And the other stuff like 1 oz silver rounds and multiple gold rings.
Once is amazingly good luck. Twice is coincidence. 3 times starts to look like a big pile of something brown with flies buzzing around.
In any event:
1. Walking liberty halves don't cause an overload signal. Even if they're on the surface.
2. If that's a copper-nickel clad Ike dollar in the other post, it's made of the same clad material as other clad coins, and should come out of the ground looking brown like they do. If it's a silver clad Ike dollar, it's not a circulation strike, it's a collectors coin, and that would mean finding 3 large non-circulation strike silver coins in one day. I've seen a 1oz silver eagle somebody found on the beach before, but 3 in a day is really pushing it.
3. Can one still find 6 silver halves in a day? Sure. Maybe once or twice in a lifetime, given the right virgin site.
And maybe 30 years ago when the parks were virgin territory, this would have been a more common occurrence.
4. Plus 7 gold rings in perfect shape with all the stones intact? For arguments sake, let's say you dig an average 1000 pulltabs for every nice solid karat gold ring (so 7000 pulltabs for 7 rings), and lets say you hunt for 8 hours. 7000/8=875. Now 3600 seconds in an hour , divided by 875 = 4.114. So that's a pulltab dug every 4 seconds for 8 hours on average. With no breaks to pee. Unless you're doing your target recovery with a bulldozer and a loam screening machine, that ain't happening.
At the end of the day, what people post is their business to some degree. But if somebody was to come into a club meeting month after month and submit stuff like that in a find-of-the-month contest, they'd be asked to leave before long.

He found his in a week too.
I don't post much anymore but I read often
For myself and people at the club and the hunters I meet with a good day for any of us is a silver or two along with a handful of wheat backs.
Some of the posts here are just astonishing to say the least- with the amount of silver coins or wheat backs being found on a weekly basis.. I won't comment any further.

Yeah, I did find 25 silver. 1 war nickel and 24 silver dimes that day. I forget the wheat count and can't look it up because my finds spreadsheet is on my desktop.
But that isn't the norm. It was a random occurrence at a spot that I had never been to before.
The problem with you is that every time you post, your finds are 'finds of a lifetime'. And your stories don't match up. They aren't believable.
