ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1443145571.462570.jpg Not much time to hunt lately, but I was able to get out for two hours tonight. These are all my finds from tonight haha, at least the 1950 silver dime popped out.

Winter is coming, and quickly. It's almost pitch black by 7:00pm now...where does the summer go?!

Not bad for 2 hours, nice save on the silver! I agree, I'm several hundred miles south of you and there is a chill in the air here also...

Hey a little silver is always welcome ! Just curious , how do those 80% silvers ring up with numbers , compared to the 90 or 92.5% ?
For silver dimes here in the " Lower 48 Provinces " My White's MXT will normally show 81/82 . Silver quarter is more like 88/90 .

I'm running full tones on the Deus in 8khz, the 80% dimes come in 86, and the older 92.5 dimes ring in at 83/84. Silver quarter is 90/91.

This dime tonight was a solid 86 in clean soil conditions, I absolutely knew it was a silver dime.

The clipped copper penny was weird, it sounded like a penny but the numbers were slightly off...I guess I know why! It was nice to hunt some ground tonight that wasn't completely littered with iron and junk--gave my ears a break haha!

WHAT! Stop talking these foolish words of winter coming soon, there's only a few leaves on the ground and we still have all of the fall to get our fix.
Oh I get it now, you're wishing an early winter, so it's an early spring then you can go scratch that big itch across the pone. :)

Nice pull on the silver.

Well done JC. Congrats on the silver.

The time is getting short here too. I will be restricted to weekend hunts in the next month. Nice thing, the ground does not freeze here, so we get to hunt through the winter season. Oh well...

Congratz on the silver! I got out for an hour and a half last night with the same exact results. Except my moneys were American. Oh, and instead of a silver dime, I got a horseshoe. Other than that, exactly the same hunt!

Nice silver! Congrats!
You dig till you can't...then bring in the back hoe!

My M6 has about the same #'s on silver, and the tone is very high pitched.

I'm a little surprised that the 80% silver dime would - would put up a little higher number than the 92.5% silver dime - this
seems counter intuitive to me . Just nice that you have some sites where you can go get some silver and some copper !
