9-19 finds with silver beauty :)

I used a vacation day to do some detecting today and boy am I glad I did. Got paid to dig targets...don't get better than that! I really have no intrest in beaches, but my gut told me to go check out a popular little spot at a lake by my house. There were no surface finds at all so I'm sure it's been gone over. I dug a bunch of caps and tabs out of a little grassy area then moved to the sand. I got a quarter signal at 8+ inches. I kept swingin over it and every 3 or 4 swings "ding". I walked away and dug a couple fishing sinkers but had to go back and dig that signal. I figured since it was sand it wont take long. Glad I did! Here's a pic of the beach....

And heres the target I almost skipped....

I left there and went to a house I got permission to hunt that was built in 1890. The home owner was fine with me detecting but was skeptical as to how much damage I would do as his lawn was in poor shape. I got a few really nice signals that were deep and I didn't want to dig big holes so I left them alone. I know there's a few silvers there but didn't want to ruin my chances of coming back. I dug a few clad coins and was headed back to the truck when BING BING BING happened. The highest signal the Ace350 has was screaming at me. It was bouncing from 4 to 6" deep so I carefully got to work. I about crapped $500 worth of wooden nickels when this pretty lady showed her face....

Here's todays silver cleaned up a bit...

I was gonna leave out the trash pic but I like folks to see through my journeys that "keeper" finds are rare and trash is everywhere. I was at the beach about 45 minutes and got this out of there. Maybe I saved some kid from getting cut in the future.

Every day I get out is a good day....BUT TODAY WAS A WICKED GOOD DAY! :)

  • Awesome find! That would be as nice as me finding a little gold.

  • It was almost flat but about 10"deep in wet sand. Surprised it chirped at all. A big ol silver half is what I been wishing for all year and when that sexy lady showed up it was like Christmas :)

  • fantastic Bob, to great finds indeed, was the quarter on its edge if so it will give you a erratic and unpredictable signal.
