    A "George"ous Silver

    The other night I had a couple hours to kill and decided to go detecting. I was thinking about doing some door knocking but stopped at an old park first to check the ground conditions. As I suspected the ground was powder dry so door knocking was out of the question.

    So I decided to just stay in the park and enjoy the evening. Eventually I came across I deep 32 signal on the EQ800 and thought it was way to good to be true. What came out of the ground was a beautiful KG5 Canadian Quarter from 1919.

    Deep silver sounds like birds chirping at heaven's gate on the EQX. I've changed my tune on the nox tones. I remember before I bought it my worry was the cacophony of sounds Minelabs made...but it's now music to my ears! You found a real sweet looking coin, Jared!
