Haven't done much detecting lately due to injuries, but finally feeling up to start hunting again full-time. Took a road trip to Newport, RI to re-hunt a couple of parks that I've had great success at in the past, using my XS and stock coil. Now that I have the SE Pro & SEF 10 x 12, my plan is to return to basically every site I've been to.

This turned out to be a great day. I did park #1 in the morning, and came up with a 1939 Merc & 1898 Barber, along with a couple of toasted foreign coins, an 1898 Indian, several wheats and a small silver kids ring.

Went to park #2 after lunch and within 5 minutes of turning the machine on, found a 1947 Rosie. Maybe 15 feet from the Rosie, I got a great sounding hit (I will be loading the video that you can check out on my website- jeffsburiedtreasures.com) and it turned out to be a sweet 1923 Standing Liberty quarter! Too bad there's no "S" mintmark! Again, maybe 10 feet from the SLQ, another high tone but only about 4 inches- figured it couldn't be another quarter so I didn't film it- sure as heck, 1943 Washington! Needed a Barber or Seated to complete the Twin Trifecta, but it was not to be. Found another 8 wheats there but no additional silver.

All in all, it was a great day- HH All!

nice group...great pics...
 

Very nice ! What do you have a "silver only" setting on the SE Pro? Or better yet a silver magnet? Talent, it must be talent SMH. Well done!
 

Wow, can't wait until my new coil gets here.
 

I wanna find some parks like that!!! :thumbsup:
