    Second Hunt Silver!

    I went down to the local city park by my house and detected for about two hours. I found a little clad, and very near where I dug the silver ring and wheat penny last hunt my E-Trac let out a 12-45 squeal at 6 inches. I checked from a 90-degree angle and got the same results. I knew I had a silver dime or another ring. The ground was about half frozen, but I managed to get a 1963 Rosie from about 4-5 inches down. I'll take it! Just wanted to share my first Silver coin in about 6 years. It felt great to dig some silver!

    Keep Swing'in

    It is a great feeling when you get a 12-45 high tone at six inches deep. The likelihood of it being silver is very good.
