More silver, my best silver day so far. 6 Mercs, 3 rosies, a Barber and a war nickel

[Gob-ler]

I went back where I spent a little time last week. I am pretty sure this place has not seen a detector! This makes 21 silvers in the last week out of that spot.

In two hours 11 silvers - 1912 Barber, 19, 23, 36, 42, 44, 45 Merc's, 46, 47, 63 Rosie's and a 1943 S Nickel.

I used Andy's High Performance Coin Hunting Program along with the visualization XY screen at times. The deepest dime was at 9 inches and the shallowest was at 3. Several dimes were 6 and 7 inches deep. Some faint signals that certainly said "dig me"

Really liking the Deus!

Good hunting , keep'm coming. Do you you the for bottle cap ID?

 

[HuntinDog]

Defiantly never been hunted !
Awesome finds. Congrats

That's a great day, some excellent finds, and one heck of a honey hole! I don't know how you went home!
Good luck!

WOW - 11 silvers in one hunt?! Very exciting! That would be the hunt of a lifetime for me! Keep em rolling in!

 

[Aaron]

That would be my best day ever too
Congrats!

 

[Foot hill]

Awesome. Id feel like a kid again!

 

[woodchiphustler]

Yes you can find spots that have not been hunted. Worked it hard.

 

[Sleepyjim]

I like that program as well......

Man nice honey spot for sure, WOW!

What did the dimes show for a VDI?

Jim

 

[Gob-ler]

SJ - the dimes usually ring in right where they are supposed to be, 88-89, but when mixed with iron and other stuff they would move downward just a tad.

 

[LandOLincoln]

for sure a good day there!

Hey Gob-ler

How were you using the XY visualization screen on this hunt? I know what it is, and how to get to it, and have used it a few times. Before I started using the 4 kHz check of bottle caps I would use that screen. But I find the 4 kHz check faster/easier. So was just wondering when you used it since you mentioned it. Did it help in actually finding the silver?

Thx
Rich

I am not even close to being anything but a novice. Still learning.

After reading about the XY screen I gave it a try after I had pretty much gone over the area where most of the 29 silver coins I pulled from this area came from. Going back over the area of the most finds produced some interesting signals. It was interesting to see what readings the XY screen gave and it was helpful. Similar signals to the silvers would not have the strong straight line reading that the coins gave.

What I did do as I am still learning was dig some signals that had the wavy lines on the screen. It only took a few diggings to let me know that the machine knew what it was doing.

Like I said, still learning the learning curve and making progress.

Got it. Thanks for responding Gob-ler. I haven't played around with that screen in a while. I may try it out when I'm hearing something that sounds good and is deep (which I'll dig anyway if it sounds good) and see what it looks like. Never know what new info/observations may come out of it!
Take care,
Rich

Don't the lines go diagonal? one way iron, the other goodies?

Straight vs wiggly? explain that more if you can....

Jim

 

[Gob-ler]

You are correct. The diagonal lines you want to dig will be somewhat straight. Diagonal yes from bottom left quadrant to top right quadrant. The longer the straight diagonal line the shallower the item. Deep is shorter, straight, diagonal. Andy's book really gets into it quite well.

 

[samandnoah]

And rusty iron, or a bottle cap will create a sort of squarish or parallelogram shape that looks like a 3 year old with an etch-a-sketch drew it! Seriously.

 

[Sleepyjim]

Ok that is what I thought, got a diff idea in my head from your post, we are on same page.....LOL
