Silver Signals...

Detectors are different like people are. The best way to check this is to find a clean piece of ground and lay a silver dime down and see what the meter reads. Course this is an air test and will not be the exact reading you will get if it is in the ground, but close. Assuming you are detecting where silver was dropped and some still might be there, keep the coil near the ground for the entire sweep and don't swing it like a pendulum. Over lap at least by half to get max coverage at depth. The detectors only sees a spot about 2 inches in dia. at eight inches down.
 

My Radio shack MD does not give VDI numbers, so I can't respond to that, but I will say that I was stunned yesterday to discover that a 14K class ring I found on Saturday by sight, showed up on my RS as iron. Unfortunately, I have been discriminating out iron because there are so many beer bottle caps on the beach. It looks like I may also have been discriminating out at least some of the gold as well. ID and profile the metal before you dig then dig it all until you have a good feel for what your MD is saying to you. When you can correctly identify an object by ID and profile, before you dig it up, then you can begin skipping some of the targets. Build a test garden in your back yard with various metal objects at various depths to test your skills on ID and profile......The silver is out there, keep hunting.
 

If you are talking about silver coins, they are getting extremely rare and hard to find. If you ae talking ljust silver as in jewrlry, you probabljust haven't put your coil over the right place. I use Garrett equipment and it doesn't even have a VDI meter, but silver will blow my ears off if I don't have the volume turned down. Monty
