The Racer 2 seems to love Silver

[csarebelva]

Finds for the day .... not the best Silver I have ever found but the most in one day. 1899 Barber Quarter, Unknown date Barber Quarter 1916, 1220, 1925 Mercury Dime, Mangled barber Dime, Buffalo Head Nickle, 2 modern quarters (well 1960s) modern dime and some assorted pocket knives spoons, buckle and unknowns. Not bad for just waking up at 6am and deciding to try a spot. Humidity was murder but i was done by noon. This machine seems to really go off on silver readings ....just very clear repeatable sound and steady number readings.

Congrats------What coil was you using & what was the deepest coin?

 

[csarebelva]

I was using the standard coil and the deepest was one of the merc dimes and is was about 6 inches. Nothing super deep

Nice finds. The Makro and Nokta are some hard to beat machines.

your site is just killer! I can only dream of visiting sites with that kind of potential....

hope it's a large site and continues to produce......HH

Congrats on your short-hour hunt that turned out very successful. The glory days of finding silver for me, from '65 thru the '70s, really took a turn by the early '80s and has only been good from time-to-time in a few ghost town hunts where I have managed a half-dozen or more silver coins per day on only several occasions now in 30 years.

Yes, the Racer 2 [size=small](as well as the 'original' Racer and the Nokta FORS series models I use)[/size] is a very good responder on all coin types, and that definitely includes silver. Matter of fact most of my silver coins so far this year have come to me when working the Racer 2.

Best of success in the future, both with using this excellent model and with finding new and rewarding places to search.

My Racer loves silver as well man this red racer is a animal

The quarter IDs were 88 and pretty solid. I have found the more solid the numbers stay closer together ( such as like 86-89 instead of 65-90 ) the better the target usually is ....unless you are in Iron.

Have not posted for awhile since this hunt but a few days later went back to the site and found a Class of 2002 Class Ring. The good thing was it had initials and was the school I graduated from (Manchester High School Chesterfield Virginia) Called the AD I know at the school and we matched up the initials and the year .... tracked the guy down through facebook and returned it to him a week later..... still looking good as new. It was a white gold ring and it was about 6" under the loose pushed dirt. It actually gave a upper 50s number but solid with good tone. The guy had lost the ring 3 weeks after he got it in 2001........ he and his mother were very happy it came back home. Two days later they scraped all that dirt off and hauled it away. Timing is everything....
