More Silver !

[pilot]

Second silver find this week. This quarter was a full 8" deep by the edge of a sidewalk. The sod was about 3" higher than the sidewalk. Been slowing my sweep speed down and it is paying off !!!

Nice silver congrats on the find. Which detector and coil ?

Waterdog...I was using the 705 with the stock 10x5 HF coil. I think it is a very good coil although it is the only one I have used so far. I need to run with the sensitivity between 22-25 to get those deeper older coins and separation seems pretty good. Next coil will be the 6" DD for some of my more trashy areas.

Sure a thinking about adding a 705 gold pack in my lineup

I was wondering at that depth did it still I.D. as a quarter? And also do all x-terra's have volume gain adjustment where you can make the deeper targets softer in audio like the E-trac? THANKS.

Nice recovery. Makes you even feel better knowing that there are likely many others who simply missed that one, due to it being along the edge of the sidewalk! Many coins that fall out and hit the sidewalk will end up on edge along that gap between the cement and the dirt. Most people will either sweep perpendicular to the concrete or parallel to it. Perpendicular sweeps will only allow you to detect the narrow edge of the coin. That can be tough when you're also trying to decipher those annoying false signals caused by going back and forth across edge of the cement. Those who hunt parallel to the sidewalk will not be running with the "heart of the detection pattern" at the very edge of the cement. Next time you visit that sidewalk, try slowly sweeping along the cement at a 45 degree angle. You may be surprised at how many coins others have left behind, simply because they didn't penetrate the greatest (available) surface area of the target. JMHO HH Randy

In my area silver is getting harder to find every year. Good luck finding more silver

Yes it did ID as a quarter but also had iron very close and would get multiple id's in just a couple inches.
