Thread: Last Silver Coin of 2018 (in the rain)

    Last Silver Coin of 2018 (in the rain)

    Hey Diggers,
    Got lucky and pulled another silver coin today and it's a good one! This gives me 49 for the year. A 1676 French 4 Sols minted in Paris! It was a faint signal at about 8 inches. Was sounding like foil and barely ringing up as a 52 on my XP Deus. Best wishes to everyone for 2019!

    Tony, you and I met for the first time in 2012. After detecting with you a few times my finds suddenly started getting WAY better. It's because I watched how you detected and started emulating your style. I still detect that way to this day. Some of the credit for my fortunes over here goes to you my friend.

    Before I'd even met you the first time, you were like the god of the midwest! Still trying to match you buddy.
