Thanks Selous
Slasher,
I always hunt in Two Tone,
When i found the Pine, I was speed swinging on my way off the site,
dug a hi tone I came across, didn't look at the numbers (I dig em all)
crusty piece with irregular shape had me thinking
it was one of the lead tokens/rounds that turn up here frequently...
Don't recall the numbers I got when I dug the Oak either,
but I do remember they were in the Silver range.
(and I just KNEW it was another Mass ).
I just got some readings for you.
Large planchet Pine: steady 12-30 when swung right under the coil,
shifting down to 11- low 30s as distance increases.
Standard planchet Oak: steady 12-33 when swung right under the coil,
same 11- low 30s shift as distance increases.
Pine is a larger diameter but thinner coin, both originally same weight.

Interesting. I would have thought different numbers. Don't think I've ever found silver in the 12-30 range. I should probably start using two-tone more.

don't think those settings would affect readout,
try waving a quarter right up against your coil,
I think you'll get a similar reading to these coins.
something else, US coins are 90% silver 10% copper.
The Mass silvers were .925 silver with a hodgepodge
variety of metals as the remainder.
that might account for the difference.

You're getting slack, where's the Willow Tree!

Yeah slacking is right I haven't hunted the area again.
I did bring a friend to check around the location, Merc dime was the only silver that showed up.
It was the same rusty color as the pine though

I take back what I originally said, I have found a couple of reales that have rung in that range.

Interesting, likely for the same reasons, rather than silver/copper, they are silver with a mixed alloy...

Also... Thin, on edge, masked, there's a variety of reasons why a silver coin can come in as a low or med. tone.
