Went out late in the afternoon yesterday to try my luck at the iron infested beach. I did well finding a barber and merc dime along with a silver quarter. I ran out of daylight, so I decided to hit it again this morning.

Just for the heck of it I decided to run full tones. Usually doing that just overwhelms my ears and I go back to 3 tones. But this time it all seemed to click and I ended up with one of my best days.

No gold this trip but I ended up with a total of 10 silvers.

3 Mercurys, 2 Barber dimes, 1 1941 quarter, 2 40% silver nickels, a silver square religious pendent and what I think is my coolest find, a large stone set in .925 silver pendent. Not sure what gem it is. At first I thought it was citrine but now after rinsing off I think it may be smoky quartz? If you have a better guess, please post it.

Also scooped 9 wheaties, 2 Buffalos, 2 old costume jewelry pins, a guitar charm and a junk religious pendent

Congrats. Great finds.....
 

If the place is anything short of a landfill I try to run zero discrimination and all the tones my machine can produce just so I know I hear everything and it has to do as little "thinking" as possible. It sounds like you are learning that same lesson. Killer hunt!
 

VERY nice! I like the small piece with the cross in it!
 

NICE HUNTING! The war nickels are 35%. 65 through 70 Kennedy halves are 40%.
 

Terrific hunt! Well done!
 

Yes he did very well, I was there for the bulk of his finds. He kicked my a**.
 

nice hunt!
 

Cool doo dads! I love find little detail objects like that regardless of value.
 

Is there a mint mark on that 1903 dime ? Nice hunt .
 

Very nice hunt!!! Congrats!!! Gotta love full tones...
 

Congratulations on all of the silver! :notworthy:
 

Nice hunt I haven’t gotten out in weeks so I live through others finds .Thanks for posting an outstanding hunt.
