Silver in the pock

[Waynos]

Hit the local trashy park with my 8.5x11 DD coil on my AT Pro this morning.
Started out digging bottlecaps like crazy then I had a faint tone in the 84-85 range.
Dug down about 10 inches and pulled a 1945 mercury dime!!!
Rest of my digs were clad and junk but silver always lifts the spirits

Congrats on that deep Merc. Sometimes you have to dig those whispers and iffy's.

Congratz on the silver! Boo to the "pock" vocabulary!

Very nice looking silver dime!

That is pretty good recovering at that depth.
I did not know the AT Pro hit silver that deep.
I know they are very good machines for the money.
Way to go!
(LOL--those Zincolns just fall to pieces).

Thanks guys
Not sure if the stock coil gave me the depth advantage or the fact I run pro zero no disc and auto ground balance.
But I do know my 5x8 DD has been over that area at least 5 times and never picked up the signal.
After this hunt I'm starting to understand the value and purpose of each coil.
I may save up and get the NEL coil and sniper just to have for different occasions

Let me tell you that the sniper coil is awesome I would not have my one and only Spanish silver or the belt plate in my avatar without it
