I took advantage of an unusually mild day and bolted out to detect for a few hours. My stepson Casey has been detecting for a couple of seasons now and we met up after he got his rest from working all Christmas until midnight at corrections. I planned to to take him back to a spot we did in April when he found a huge silver ring. Instead of his ACE 250 with 8" coil I set him up with my ATPro with 11" DD sand set it in STD custom so he would hear that familiar bell tone over coins. Most here are pretty deep at 5" and much more. I set out with my V3i and stock 10" DD coil. First couple of hits were wheats and then I got this 1947 dime at a solid 6". 
Popped a few more cents and clad then got another signal that I was sure was silver at a bit over 6". Numbers in the low 80's and the 3 frequency pinpoint had me confident. The 3 freq pinpoint feature is unique and unlike other visual indicators it is reliable at depth. I tried to be careful, you might be able to make out Liberty's head on this dateless SL quarter. 
Somehow I must have whacked it as I saw after I rinsed it. 
if it had a date I'd be upset at myself. But heck, these smooth ones were pretty common in change when I was a young boy. 
Next up I got a cent / dime reading at 5" and this plated medal showed 
No chain anywhere to be found to I moved on finding a couple more wheats and trying to get Casey over a silver. The couple times I told him to dig a probable that I located he waved me on. I know he wants to locate it himself. He was scoring a few wheats but I could tell he was intent on finding his own sliver. He put me on one of my most productive sites this year, a drained lake his friend and fellow officer has a cottage on. So I'm feeling like its his turn. Next I get a possible quarter signal but this one is shallow, no more than 4". 
Silver Snake in the grass 
looks to be .800 fine, wish the other marks were clearer. 
I had a great time digging this late in the year, 7 wheats from the 40's & 50's and pushed my silver coin count to 83.
This is what I call a good day, decently productive for just a bit more than 3 hours.
