Odd signal leads to silver!

[Ted S]

We finally had a good day to go detecting yesterday. We went to a fairgrounds but were limited to hunting only part of it due to a cattle show going on. I only got some clad and an old rusty padlock. My partner didn't do any better. Since we was about 20 miles from home, I said we should hunt an old church that I knew of. So we stopped and proceeded to hunt. I was getting a bit of clad and got a strange signal. It was a good high tone but didn't repeat like you want to hear. The sun was bright so I couldn't see the screen very well but it was bouncing from 23-28 on the ID. I always investigate these signals so I dug down about 7" and pulled out a 5" long rusty nail. Crap! I stuck my TRX pinpointer in the hole and it was going off pretty strong. I pulled out another handful of dirt and caught a glimpse of silver! It turned out to be a 1935 mercury dime in fair condition. We hunted another hour and I got another strange signal. It was a high tone but it was breaking up a bit. This one was also 7 inches or a bit more. The first thing that came out was a St. Christopher medal that was rough looking. The probe indicated another target and it turned out to be a 1943 mercury dime. As I am getting better with the 600 I can't wait until fall! So always investigate those weird signals! You might find something good! HH! Ted

Thanks Jeff! I set a goal of 30 silver coins for the year and I think I am almost half way there!

I always find that silver does give an odd signal and sometimes nearly sings to you.

Have to dig those not so clean signals it pays you should see my shovel 1.5 years old almost worn out from digging!

You bet! I am learning more about the Equinox! I did some quick research and will go back!
