Had the oppertunity to use my new xterra 70 i bought on here yesterday gold prospecting. I really love this machine and the amount of ease it is to use. I didn't find any nuggets with it , but i did find some gold. I am kinda new to detecting so i would just search bed rock and all targets i find i would just put in my pan then when the pan gets full i would pan it out. I did however find a worn out mercury dime date unknown due to the water wornness of it. But i could make out the piller on the back of the dime. So at least i could say is i found some silver.. I was going to post a picture but i can't remember where i put the dime at my house. I was googleing it and looking at it with a magnafine glass then the phone rang and i don't know where i put it. Well i am on the hunt again for the dime. Jess.
