but I really never thought this would never happen to me.

Was detecting a tiny permission lawn-- about 10'x 10'-- that had been detected by two other people before. I got near the sidewalk edge-- poured in '44-- and started getting iron interference and a little hi tone chirp that took my CTX from the 30's to 1 40/41. I turned my sensitivity way down-- it was still there. What the hell-- I dug, and out pops this baby, literally vertical right up against the sidewalk. Dammit: the shovel put a tiny nick on the edge, but am thankful one entire side wasn't trashed. Still can't believe this happened to me-- a 1922D silver dollar.

It was a very iffy/scratchy signal, about 4-6" deep in very dry soil. As it was the one and only signal worth a hail mary, I dug. If it was at they end of a long detecting day I would have passed it by. I shudder to think what I've left behind in the ground.

Moral of the story: never let yourself down-- dig as if it was your last dig ever; always take your detecting gear: you never know when a neat opportunity arises.

Hilarious lead in🤣🤣.

Congrats on the Silver Dollar! I know that 1-40 signal is nearly identical to the Etrac and it almost always ends up sounding so good but being a heartbreaker. Good job staying after that target, you earned your reward!
 
Weeeeellllllllll...... I'm JEALOUS! Congrats. Well done!
 
Uhhhh, I taught him everything he knows???? And how the hell did you cross this over to Penthouse Forum???? Love the silver dude!!!!
