I detect mostly abandoned homesteads and camps that are very trashy and usually covered with nails, high-tone sheet metal, and bits of rusty cans. It has become an art form to fish coins out of this mire of metal flotsam. Today while detecting a long forgotten and hidden abode, I dug my first ever silver spill. There was something different about the tiny squeak before the big grunt of iron. I am about 50/50 on digging iron targets, I dig about half if they sound right. This one sounded good, I figured it was a horse shoe and sometimes they will give a little high chirp with the iron grunt. But the chirp was more consistent and ringing in 81-85. After the horse shoe came out I checked the dirt again and the the squeaks were still there! After some fishing around out came these rosies and a Washington!
