Short hunt today yields deep Merc and Roosie...

Short hunt this morning at an old high school. Got a ton of clad, so much that it was hard to cover much ground. There's alot there left to hunt.

As time left to hunt got short, I started to just cherry-pick targets that were possibly silver. First, I got a REAL solid, clear, textbook warbly tone -- absolutely the best, sweetest "silver warble" I ever heard. Very nice tinkling sound, and it was really "soft" at the edges of the signal. I just love that sweet sound! I looked at the depth meter and it showed the target at 6-8", I was very surprised to get such an awesome, clear-sounding warble that was that deep. ID was rock-solid, no iffiness at all. I KNEW that one was silver -- turned out to be a 7" 44-D Merc. I don't think this had anything to do with how sweet that coin sounded, but it is also in the nicest shape I've ever seen for a Merc. This thing truly looks like it was just minted. Nearly flawless.

A bit later, I hit a 1950 wheat, that was an iffy/jumpy tone -- close to iron. It was good enough to get my curiousity up though, so I dug it. Glad I did. Then, a short tie later, nearby, got another nice silver warble, not as sweet as the first one, but still sounded silver and was showing just a little shallower than the first. It was a 1950-D Roosevelt.

I know there are more targets there to be had. I may have to continue thinning out the shallow clad though, as I am SURE it is masking some more deep goodies. The ground is super dry and very hard, but there are more goodies to be had here.

Way to snoop out the silver. I would like to see a picture of the Mercury if possible.
 
Nice hunt Steve. I bet if you spend some time weeding out the clad you will find some more good stuff ..
 
Nice going Steve.:clapping: Got an idea!!! Get a couple of your buddies to go with you and make sure that they aren't using Minelabs and once they get all the clad out of the way then thank them and hit that place by yourself again and you'll probably get a lot of silver and wheaties.:clapping: GL & HH.
