New SEF 10 x 12 coil popped out some BIG SILVER on the 4 hour maiden voyage

[silverfreak]

After an hour with absolutely NOTHING in my pouch...I started to get frustrated ...but then realized I have pounded this site with every coil I have. Hours 2 thru 4 were hoppin' though.
First silver with the SEF coil was a Barber dime at 8" ...and there was a pulltab ON top of it.
I then picked up a few 7" to 8" wheaties...then a deepie at close to 10" down.
Plugged along and the coil was very stable the whole time. I then got a fairly solid silver hit...but it only sounded one way...yet it repeated every pass. I dug down and saw a nail in the bottom side of the hole ...then ran the probe...yippee!...silver sound I popped out another chunk of dirt...then rubbed the bottom of the hole with my fingers....BIG SILVER ... lying perfectly flat at the bottom of the hole. Pulled her out...stared at her...then ran the probe in the hole...another silver hit. I thought I was going to get 2 halves in one hole....but it wasn't to be. It WAS however a silver 1937 Washington quarter. My first big silver pocket spill in years.
The little tiny ring was found down about 8" and also had a pulltab in there with it I l@@ked and l@@ked for the stone...but never found it Oh well...it is marked Sterling
After running water over the Walker...man is it a beauty...the nicest one I've ever found
Sorry for cutting this post short...but work time is here.
The SEF 10 x 12 coil was very STABLE...SEPARATED very well.....felt much LIGHTER than I expected it to...and went DEEP on a couple of wheaties...almost 10" down on two of them. This coil is a KEEPER for me and will fit well into my arsenal.

Very nice job there buddy. In case you didn't know, you also have a nice John Deere Pin (Deer & Plow) thats an oldie and certainly high on the "John Deere" collectable list. Great Job !

Really Nice finds there SF,

And you answered a question about an item I found a few years ago. I always wondered what it was and would have eventually put it on the "what is it" forum.

I had thought that it was part of an ornament on a plow. Found mine on a one room school now a corn field site.

Happy Hunting,

Holy cow Scott....thank you. I had just chucked the stickpin aside thinking it was a reindeer Christmas pin...seriously...it's sitting in my token/semi junk pile right here on my desk. I'll take it and rinse it off a little.
Thanks for the picks you posted
