Most of these large coppers and everthing in the case came from the silver Pomander site. This site was also the most productive silver coin site. Responsible for 13 of my 46.

Toasted it's been fun watching your hunts buddy. Hope you kill it in 2016

Congrats on a great first season. You dug plenty of keepers in those 6 short months. You sure are the IHP master since you averaged 1 every 3 days, whether you hunted or not. Hope you have a great 2016.

Great finds man

That is awesome!!! Could you possibly tell me the average depth of those silvers with the AT Pro? I have found one silver coin all year with the Ace 250 and I am just convinced that they are out of reach for the most part. Thank you, Paul

 

[toasted]

Most of my silvers were found with a Tesoro Vaquero but the AT pro has comparable depth especially with the Nel tornado coil i sometimes use. Most of my older coins fall in that 5-7" sweet spot. Im convinced that getting on a good site is far more important than the detector you use unless your hunting pounded parks and looking for those deep signals

 

[pganjon]

Thank you, I agree that the site is the most important. I'm not sure though that my 250 would pick up a dime at 5 inches. I have found large cents at around 4-5 inches and tons of clad, rings and what nots. My areas are limited to local parks though for now, maybe one day Thanks again and God Bless! Paul

 

[against the wind]

That is a really impressive 9 months of swinging a coil.
Congrats

Paul,

When I was using the 250 quite a few years back I was pulling silver coins on edge at 5" in powder dry soil.....the trick is to go super slow and do overlaps and those finds were made with a 5" coil.
