A few month's ago I was talking to a good friend of mine that MD's about how many silver coins we have found so I went back in to my records of all the coins I have found since I bought the Xterra 50 back in January 2006 "then about 4 years later it broke down and Minelab upgraded me to the Xterra 505" and at that time I had found 961 silver coins. Hmmm, I only need 39 more coins to hit 1000 so I have been on a mission the past few months to hit the 1000 mark and I hit it today with a really woren 1918 Mercury Dime. Yahooooo, I can't believe I found that many silver coins and the Xterra did a gr8 job at finding them along with the 10.5 MF DD coil that I bought in Aug 2006 and has been on the MDer 99% of the time.
Sat. I run in to a street tearout in a older part of town. They had alot of the grass tore up between the street and sidewalk so that was the area I hit. Sat. I worked 3 blocks, both sides of the street. I found a Merc, 2 Rosies, a IH, a piece of play money, a junk ring and 7 wheat's.
Sunday morning I went back to the street tearout and worked 4 more blocks and I only needed 4 more silver coins to hit 1000. I think I was in front of the third house when I found the Walker first and 2 rosies in the same hole. It was about a hour later when I found my 1000th silver coin and it was the 1918 Merc. I wanted to jump up an down an hoot an howler but I was not in the best part of town if you know what I mean and I did not want to bring any attention to me and that's why I was there EARLY Sun, morning, lol After that I found 2 tokens from the same Company but one was for 5 cent's in trade and the other was for 10 cent's in trade, that was kinda cool. then I found a nice 1920d Buff an just after that I found a real nice 1907 barber dime and the last good coin was the 1897 IH. I also found 15 wheat's and some other cool finds, I really like the old key.
The first 4 pictures are today's finds and the last pic is sat finds
Thanks for lookin guys
