Got out for about 2 hours today at an old football field in Jones County.
Funny how green some of these memorials look in the hole!
Find of the day was the 1925 Mercury dime!
It read a clean 83 on the AT Pro VDI (with NEL Storm coil at over 7 inches down).

Nice merc! Jumps between 81 and 83 with the NEL snake coil on AT PRO. Did dig a 42 penny at 8 inches in wet soil with the NEL snake coil.

I have heard great things about that snake coil!


I would love to try this coil out at a nail infested site I hunt during the winter!

So that's what a silver coin looks like...

It must have been great metal detecting in the 70's/80's.
I bet they harvested millions of silver coins.
Notice how you hardly ever find silver quarters or half dollars, mostly dimes.
Our newer machines are detecting the ones that are sitting deep or on edge.

Congratz on finding some more silver! Keep it up!

We need to get together Saturday for a hunt. It is supposed to be clear.
The ground was VERY easy to dig in yesterday.
It will rain around noon today, hopefully not much.
Let's give RedBronco a call!

I would love to come down and hunt with you. However, this weekend is no good. I have a wedding to go to in Starkville on Saturday, and my parents are at my house on Sunday. Maybe next weekend?

Unless I am out of town or it is raining, I am ready to go!
