You will find one . My first was a coinsilver serving spoon [c1779] that I had passed over for a couple years thinking it was one of those too good to be true signals. Thanks .

Thanks everybody, I found them under a huge pecan tree about 10' apart.The first one was only 4 or 5 inches deep, but the other one was at least 9 inches deep.The Gold Bug Pro loves silver.I will be going back soon , maybe will find another , yeah right.Probably never find another one , but it will be fun trying. Happy hunting.
