I can't compete with PCGS69 or Bayard1908 on silver but I did find a 64-D Washington while detecting a high jump area at an older football field. A little over $5 in clad in addition to the silver. Like that white look coming out of the ground:)

    Nice day... $5 in clad is a good day... and a silver quarter is always nice...They do usually come out looking clean... Cheers, RickO

    Congrats PPC! Always a nice site to see silver. Seems like it's been a while for me since I got a silver quarter. Getting scarcer and scarcer.

    Detected in a little town park after a carnival had been there two weeks ago. About a half hour into the hunt I found a 1908-D Barber dime. Not much more than an inch down. Ended up with $8.25 in change a belt pocket knife and a steel post that the carnival forgot I'm sure the mowers would not like to find that :'(

    Wow... I am reasonably certain that Barber dime did not get dropped at the carnival... at least not that one... :D Nice find and good bit of change. Cheers, RickO

    That's a great old find. What sort of machine are you using? It seems like you get onto some old sites. I wonder if maybe your machine just doesn't go deep enough to find the old silver at your sites. Almost all of the silver coins I find are at least six inches deep.

    I've used a CZ3D and a CZ-5. All the CZ machines have a good reputation for depth. I do recommend headphones for hearing the faint deep signals though.
