T2SE/NEL Sharpshooter Coil Nails Two Ladies :teknetics:

The day didn't start out all that well, the new location was giving me fits with EMI, even using the Sharpshooter coil. With all the chatter I was having trouble concentrating and the signals were all mushy. I even pulled out the 5 inch DD coil to see if it could do better. It fared a little better, but not by much. To make a long story short, after stopping to eat a sandwich I switched back to the Sharpshooter coil. When I turned the detector back on, I decided to leave the sensitivity at the preset '60'. I was running 90 before. I changed to 3 tones and ground balanced at around '70' and left the discrimination at '10' like before. The detector was running super smooth and the ground came alive with good signals to dig. I couldn't believe how much better the detector was working. I dug a lot of clad and nickels. I got one Suid Afrika 5 cent coin. It looks like a nickel but the VDI numbers are all over the place. I found it in the same hole with a clad dime. Towards the end of the hunt, I got a funky dime/quarter signal. I dug down around 4 inches and found 2 Mercury dimes stuck together. It's my first double silver in one hole dig. Happy, Happy, Happy.:)

Mercury Dimes: 1928 1945 Wheat Pennies: 1945 1959 1950

Lesson learned to today. Running too high of a sensitivity to get some extra depth can be counterproductive.

Another nice selection of finds,i think that is one of the most common mistakes with the T2 people tend too crank the sens right up but it can make the machine so erratic that people in the end sell the machines,i rarely go over 75 with mine and never over 80 and then that would only be on a clean pasture site,once again i mainly use about 10 on disc as well.

Not been out with my T2 and Sharpshooter for over a week in the UK as its not stop raing and most of the fields are just water logged,its been that bad as soon as you dig a hole its filled with water.

Awesome! Congratulations on that sweet double!:clapping: I thought Mercury was a dude?:rofl: Yeah, I like running a real low sens too...very comfortable hunting in the chattery spots.

Nice finds! I found a couple of dimes stuck together myself a couple of hunts ago but unfortunately the were just plain ole clad ones.
 
Awesome, awesome, awesome................:clapping:
 
Great dimes find. It has to be unusual to find two silvers stuck together in the same. I know it hasn't happened to me. I have found three wheats in one hole though.
 
WoW, looks like a slot machine puked up with all the coins you found, congrats!!!!!!
 
Now this is it.
