I've been finding a bit of silver with the Nox but today was an especially good day . Happy Hunting !
Cleaned up .
That is a fantastic day! What kind of a spot did you find these in?
Thanks , It's an old Baseball field next to an elementary School which is being scraped , replanted and having a new sprinkler system installed .I attended that school for a short time back in the 50's ( yes , I am a bit of a relic ) . :lol:Quote:

Not a chance ! I didn't have much money back then and I was very careful with it . My wife grew up a block away from there and she came from a large family that also included many cousins who all lived nearby and they all played there . Maybe some of their coinage ended up in my pouch . I lived a couple of miles from there and didn't frequent that park too much . My buddies and I were more into riding all over the place on our bicycles I literally lived on the other side of the tracks . My Brother in law still lives in their original house .Quote:

I'd like to think the nice piece of change I put out for this detector got me a far superior detector than I've had before .
All these targets I got on this hunt were in the 2" to 5" range .
I went back to the same spot today but this time I used the 6" coil . I went over the same dirt I went over previously , twice . This time I didn't find one silver coin at all just a few more wheats , memorials , a couple of nickels (one being a Buffalo ) an unidentifiable coin and junk . I'm guessing I cleaned it out as good as my abilities are able to .
I'm not going to say that there isn't anybody out there that can't go over it with a low cost detector and give me a spanking . I'm just going to say I like the way this detector performs and I was fortunate to be at the right place at the right time .
I also know this spot has been heavily hunted for many years , so I am quite happy to have found what I have here . Hopefully , before this spot is all sealed up again , I can find a coin that is on my bucket list .
Happy hunting .
That's a great day of silver George , I bet that Nox is good on the swinging arm too !
Great read. Congrats on the finds and the Jefferson is an S Mint too.
So you pulled the trigger and got yourself a Nox, huh?
Good for you George! Hopefully more of your old hunted out sights will cough up a few more goodies for ya!
Maybe even a BUCKETLISTER!! :omg:
Nice mixed bag of silvers out of there so far! :thumbsup01:
Congrats! :grin:
Thanks Dan , It sure is especially with the 6" coil .Quote:

As for opening up my old hunted out sights ,here are 2 items I got from one that I'm lucky to find anything from any more . A nice old token and a silver Rosie . I also got a half a dozen or so clad coins .Quote:
