    Lots of silver

    Hi friends
    Long time no see
    I did not hunt much lately,but here i am again,with new super machine Minelab E-Trac.
    In just two days,actually maybe 5 hours i found all this silver medieval coins (among them is one rare broken roman-it is Emperor Diocletian argenteus coin) and one medieval bronze ring.
    After 10 years using a White`a detectors.....Eagle Spectrum,DFX it was a time for upgrade.Still have DFX but as back up detector.
    The most important thing is that i found this coins in very hard ground,in dusty roads overrun by tractors littered with trash.And yet among all those foils,nails,cans,large and small irons,pull tabs and leads i did not wasting my time digging some iffy signals.Nope
    I was waiting for a low repeatable sound and 12-05 number on E-Trac display.And every time i get that it was a small silver coin.Only two times i dug small foils that looks like coin.
    HH

    Those tiny hammered are about 1200-1600 year,and also the ring is from that period,and truncated Roman is III century.
    Did not date one by one yet
