It's hard enough to find just one silver quarter, but I found 3 silver quarters that were all minted in 1951, the year that I was born. 1951 was a great year!

It was misting rain early this morning while I was driving deep into the jungle to do some serious metal detecting. I wanted to start out with my Omega V6, but the first site that I tried had a little too much EMI, so I pulled out the MXT Pro instead. I really needed a smaller search coil on the MXT Pro, but the larger 950 did amazingly well picking through the trash. It found me a 925 silver ring, a old Mercury dime, and a Rosie dime before leaving for a new site.

At the next site I pulled out the Omega V6 with the stock 10 inch elliptical concentric search attached and it didn't chatter at all even at full sensitivity. It's one of the best and most fun detectors for coin shooting ever made. It LOVES silver and handles iron well. Before calling it a day, the Omega found me 3 silver quarters and Rosie dime. I used zero discrimination, full sensitivity and 4 audio tones. It ground balanced at 60 and then I reduced it manually to 55.

The weather ended up being just perfect today. Calm winds and around 45 degrees. The ground was a little muddy though from a recent rain. LOL

Nice silver and fun finding coins if your birth year making it special....and learning about others who favor 1951 is a bonus :). I am curious about the round notched metal piece is the lower center part of white tray.

Nice job on the silvers Tabman.
Thanks! I was on a roll today. I'm glad that I got a good day's hunt in because lots of rain is heading my why for the next week or so. I might get a break in the weather Thursday though.

Congratulations on your BIG SILVER DAY!
Thanks! Some days are better than others.

1951 was a great year.... (August 4, 1951) LOL I only found 1 Franklin Half and that was a 1951... Nice silver hunt !!!
Thanks! I've always liked how 1951 rolls off the tongue. A good year to be born.

Congratulations, and I agree on 1951, March 26 was a wonderful day for me.
Thanks! March 25 is my birthday, so we are Aries! It's the best zodiac sign by far. LOL

Very nicely done. What a day!
Thanks! I had a little help with some Aleve. One pill will keep you going all day long. Much better than Advil.

Nice silver and fun finding coins if your birth year making it special....and learning about others who favor 1951 is a bonus :). I am curious about the round notched metal piece is the lower center part of white tray.
Thanks! Every time I see my birthdate on a coin, I think that's an old one. I'm not sure what that is.

You are one serious silver scavenging dude! Funny thing, last silver GW I found was a '51...hmmm...I smell conspiracy! Congrats on another silver-filled day...Ddf.
Thanks! It's amazing how some sites holds silver and others don't. Even if the homes are the same age and in the same area. I think a lot of it has to do with how many kids live there.

You are a silver magnet, congratulations! :occasion14:
Thanks! I can remember back years ago thinking if I was ever going to find a silver coin.
