Looking For Metal Detector That Only Finds Silver And/Or Gold!

[sirseek]

I live in an area where salt is used during winters which destroys all clad coins (the zinc and copper layers create a battery with the salt water, it breaks the coins down to unreadable circumstances after 20 years). Even plain copper wheat pennies take heavy damage here and I am sure copper coins burried for more than a hundred years would be no good and unreadable (history goes back to 1600s here, should be decent Spanish/British coins to find with the right equipment in north New York state).

I have great luck with finding silver coins that the salt has not bothered, so I am wishing to find a brand and model of a metal detector that will only find silver or gold (or both as a bonus, but will ignore anything non gold or silver), any ideas? I am tired of digging clads and old rotten copper coins...

Just look on the face of that yellow thing and push that button that says mode until the word "jewelry" is circled. Oh, forgot to say, turn it on first. Once you see the word jewelry circled, just start hunting and dig everything you get a tone thingy on. Most of it will be trash but when least expected you may find one of those exciting pull tab things. Rarely, but occasionally one of those crummy old gold or silver rings may appear if you are in the right place. Location, location, location is the key. Do some research and find out where people have or do congregate (hang out) and go to those places. Right now it seems that the best place to search is around older homes on private property. Be sure to get permission first or wear bullet proof underwear! KS
