Started early as usual to avoid this Vegas heat, went back to my house teardown and managed to squeeze out a Mercury and a 64 Quarter. Signals started drying up so decided to recheck some lots I previously hunted not to far away. Sooo glad I did! Decided to hit a small lot that ive been over 2 times. Its rather small compared to others I hunt, around 20x20. Had luck here before pulling out a monster gold ring earlier this year so decided to go real slow and not 5 feet from my car 3rd signal I got a bouncing 96-98. First two signals were close to that and were strips of aluminum. Almost didn't dig but said to myself what am I here for to detect so got down and at only 3" out pops the Dollar. Just like my first one it took a few seconds to realize what I had. How in the world did I miss this the last 2 hunts. This has been a fantastic year for me and I give credit to my At Pro and the 5x8 coil separating treasure from trash. Also found some wheats,marbles and still need to clean but think its a early dog tag.

So, after reading this, and all of your other posts, I have concluded that if I ever go back to Vegas, I should leave my detector behind... nothing left to find after you:dontknow::laughing7:.. as always, great job

Nice dollar find. My one and only coin spill find was in a spot my hunting buddies had gone over repeatedly in the past before I joined up with them. Managed to pull a half dollar, quarter, and dime. They never could figure out how they missed them.

When's the last time that spot saw rain? That dirt looks dry as mummy dust.

Nothing like a GIANT silver coin to make a day! Congrats on that EXCELLENT find. I'd imagine that those coins would clean up well with the aluminum foil and baking soda with boiling water method.

really sweet silver! I know what you mean about almost not digging something because of already digging several trash signals that had the same signal, makes you wonder what you have left behind before. congrats

Every time I get a 90ish signal on the ATP, I think " Great! Another dang piece of brass!". I hope one day to get surprised by a Morgan. Hopefully the temps will cool up some for you soon.

That is simply awesome, Ray. All my 96-98 readings end up being old cans (lol) but I'm a day closer. Congratulations.
