Well I still haven't managed to pull a silver coin as of yet but I am still finding silver. I pulled a silver necklace with a plated pendant with what appears to be a real pearl (tooth test) the tiny ring is also silver. the bigger one is junk. The dragon sword pendant is pretty cool although it is bent up pretty good, I think I will try to anneal it and bend it back straight. The spark plug gap per will go into my tool chest. All found Monday in my "hunted out park" oldest penny of the day was 1960.
Tuesday at the lake I found a fiver stuck in the mud, not a metal detector find but wouldn't have seen it if I wasn't detecting, plus some change and fishing lure pieces.
Wednesday back at the park I pulled yet another live round, this time a 7.62x39. Worked the parking strip over pretty good pulling coins right and left.
Thursday netted another handful of clad from the park, and a 1958D wheatie in great shape.
Friday I got out to the lake about 5 and spent about two hours working over a popular swimming spot, lots of good signals and barely any trash at all. I did have a weird thing happen with the tid in this area, everything was coming in high, nickels were coming in in the low 80's and the pennies in the high 80's quarters were 96-97. The only thing I noticed was different the fe meter was showing 3 and 4 bars, high iron oxide mud I think. But I managed to make quota with 53 coins, I thought the earring was silver until I washed it and the silver flaked off. I also found a pair of glasses and a bicycle on the surface.
Ended up working on the garage yesterday and getting ready to go cut some firewood today. Hope you enjoyed the pics, finally got a little rain here on Friday so looking forward to hitting some spots I have set up with a good possibility of silver coinage.
