    Practice going well......lots of pennies and pulltabs

    Offspring and I went to ball fields again today for some more practice with the At Pro and White's. I was hitting pennies like crazy! Got a Kennedy half dollar, and several quarters. I found 30 coins in all today, lots of fun! Now bring on the silver!

    Looks like you're learning your machines quickly. Pretty soon you'll be able to identify those faint deep signals and start nabbing some silver, I'm sure of it.

    That's some good practicing. As always, the more you do something the easier it becomes. Keep at it, that 1st silver is just a plug away.

    Congrats on the variety of finds, nice job with the "practice"! The silver will come in time, and judging by what you are already finding there is little or no local competition with other detectorists leaving you with lots of stuff to find.
    Equipment:
    Minelab: CTX 3030, GPX 4800, X-Terra 705. Whites TDI SL.

    2023 Silver: 1 Gold: 0

    Best finds: 28 silver dime spill, 1800s Dutch customs seal.
    Oldest/best coins: 1837 Upper Canada large cent, 1877 Seated Dime
    Oldest find: 1800 Sailors Luck token

    You are going about it in exactly the right way, getting to know your machine in an area with lots of targets. Soon you will be able to move on to an older site for the potential of silver.

    Good job!
