Saturday 4-11 I decided to try a 1950's era school in the hopes I could score one deep overlooked silver coin. The three hits that I'd call deep and sweet produced two pieces of sterling and a clad quarter. I was using my V3i with 12 x 10 SEF. http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/4D2C26:clapping:-7CEF-450D-A979-A3EFC0770F49-119-0000000140E0F4F3_zps902768c2.jpghttp://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/02220FEE-EFAA-4B30-9510-8FDBF71F6707-119-0000000138B60D47_zps640ec149.jpg I recall that sterling spoon is bent up like a cooker - jr. High school drug education class. I don't want to think it was used for that and besides .925?
On Tuesday my stepson had permission to hunt a friends yard, house built 1952. I don't get too excited about homes from that era. The potential for silver is there and it was built on former farmland like much of the town. http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/51E553C2-00A4-4883-A45C-B95E59A46930-756-00000074DA076421_zpse9d0b391.jpg the four wheat backs were a single spill with two stuck together at about 6. The 1943 dime was less than a foot off to the side. The musket ball was actually pulled on 4-15 from a colonial site. I used the AT Pro for the house yard and it is a great coin hound.
Yesterday I got huge surprise trying the AT Pro at a small site I take every coin hunting unit I've had over the last 25+ years. The soil is is red with iron minerals and the ground balance came in at 92 on the ATP. I ran stable at full sens with the pro audio custom mode. Little signal, but clean showing 81 - 85 at an indicated 8. When I located the edge of the target I thought it was a heavily worn standing liberty quarter from my best hunch. Instead it was way better because the date is the last thing to wear completely on a seated quarter! She's a real smoothie, maybe 50+ years of circulation. http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/7E5DEC0C-2048-4499-B807-745CCD116BBA-690-00000075AA842ED2_zpsfd1abd76.jpghttp://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/ED0DEB4E-23DA-4E72-9C34-64FAF618BB5E-690-00000075A4374F78_zps7b73252f.jpghttp://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/4E57C80C-ED2E-45B2-A8C2-101BFA366E7D-690-000000759DC9A552_zpscd3706c0.jpghttp://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/6E4AE401-7F30-431B-:clapping:78-E37E64BE6057-690-00000075A1B:clapping:A3B_zpsd1109880.jpg
