25+ Wheat Pennies, Yep.....More Silver!

[tabman]

I had a great permission lined up to detect today, but first I wanted to detect a certain field where some 3 ringer bullets have been found. The Nokta Fors Relic hits super hard and deep on low conductors, so this would be a good test for it.

When I arrived at the site another guy that goes by JimTN was already there swinging away. We talked for a minute and then went about our detecting. I didn't recover much, but I did find a lead ball bullet and a couple of cut up wheat pennies.

I got tired of detecting that field in a hurry. It's been detected to death by me and others, so I jumped in my SUV and headed out to some virgin ground to find some silver coins.

I nearly dug myself to death digging clad coins and wheat pennies before finally getting my search coil over some silver coins. The last Mercury dime that I found was deep. It only gave a hint that it was there so I knew to dig a deep plug.

When I stuck my Pro Pointer in the hole the top of it was below ground level and I had to dig a little more dirt out of the bottom of the hole to recovery the coin. It was a solid 9+ inches deep.

The Fors Relic was set up in Di3 audio tones and I had to dial back the sensitivity to 90 to help claim down the EMI some. Yeah, I'm impressed with the depth on that dime considering the circumstances. EMI kills depth.

Thanks! You can find plenty of silver coins where people have lost them and other people haven't found them yet.

Nice hunting!!!

Thanks! I get lucky sometimes.

Thanks! Mainly you just have to think what people were doing pre '64, especially kids. I love detecting steep grassy slopes.

Thanks, but I wouldn't go that far, because we have some really good metadetectorists around here. Where I excel is that I'm extremely good at talking people into and out of things. I hardly ever get turned down asking for a permission to detect someone's property. Also I'm not too shy or too good to ask.

Congrats on the silver,, tabman.
Most of the wheat pennies I dig are deep.
25 + wheat pennies would be a lot of deep holes.
You already have some nice 2017 silver totals.
Good for you.
