2nd Silver Coin!

I got a bigfoot coil for my DFX the other day and finally got it to where i want it. I went back and hit the old lodge that I have been working for several weeks now. I hit an area that I had hit really hard and within 10 minutes had found a 1953 D Silver Quarter! My second silver ever!! I'll post pics later!

    I hope you are keeping a log of all your finds, they are a blast to read through years later and like you said above sometimes if you go back to one of your earlier sites after a few years of experience where you did find some older stuff you might be shocked at the stuff you pull out of your already hunted out spot (I speak from experience on this one). It takes time to develope your technique and learn to how your machine communicates with you. The finds you are digging means you are doing something right and it will only get better as time goes on. Now where is that Franklin or Walking Liberty half hiding at out there?

    HH and keep it up!

    I dig almost every
    signal I get for the most
    part. Go figure...

    Was it very deep or more a product of covering a larger area with the bigfoot coil?

    5 inches but the bigfoot found it. I bet I have swept a coil over that area about 100 times. I searched it pretty good but I guess I was more careless than I thought.

    Well, well. I can see I have missed some excitement in my absence, and while I've been layin' low and doing no digging or no Internetting, some folks have been busy!

    Yeah well it'll take more then Washington and Rossie silvers to get me a plaque... Not sure I'll ever find anything that can top some of the other's finds. I am finding civil war bullets still so that may win me something one month... image

    They're about equal in my book (Civil War bullets and Merc dimes, that is).

    Very nice Todd. The silver will keep showing up now--you got the first one under your belt and in no time, you find your second one. Now you will get the desire to dig older and more variety of coins--barbers, standing liberty, mercs, etc.
