Saturday's little silver fix

I went back to the old farmhouse site up the road on Saturday and first hunted slow with the CZ-70. Not much easy for the taking left, but I did get a slightly broken up high coin between 4-6 inches. Between the pine roots, out pops this beautiful, bright silver, no wear, 1943 Merc. I tried the 3D for about an hour and found the 1919 Wheat. Sorry for the slightly dark pic; it's hard to take a pic of brighter silver coins. I'm going to try the Minelab Explorer II for a little while this coming weekend for a comparison there...HH
 
Any silver day is a good silver day. And I hear you about taking silver pics...it's IS tough.
Got my Explorer II today. Battery on charge, ready to rock. Whole lot of reading to do. It's quite an impressive machine. We shall see...
HH!
 
I hear you about the pic issue. I've given up trying to take pics of both silver and dark-colored coins at the same time. The silver tends to wash the copper coins out. Heck, I don't even take pics of Wheat's anymore, unless there's a lot of them!
I've found that I like to have a bright light source overhead, and another, dimmer, light source low and to the side. My current "photo studio" has two flourescent bulbs on the ceiling, and a 60W incandescent bulb in a desk lamp, with a flexible neck. I keep the 60W low, and to the side. I also use a tripod, with my Mavica a good ways from the coin, and just zoom in. I use the timer to capture the image without shaking the camera.
