I had a 6 hour outing in Phoenix yesterday and found some keepers. 3 silver dimes 1948, 1939, and 1907. 2 silver war nickels, 2 Mexican coins, 2 wheat pennies, a nice pile of clad coins and an International Harvester pocket watch fob. I posted pictures of the dimes and nickels before and after cleaning so you can see how the Arizona soil is hard on silver. Found a new spot and can't wait to get back again. Also just bought a NEL tornado coil for the ATPro and am anxious to give it a spin. Happy hunting and thanks for looking.

I never argue with a silver coin :) I like the watch fob too.

Great finds! I'm really jealous because it will be a long time before I can metal detect. Flagstaff is supposed to get 2' of snow today and tomorrow, on top of at least a foot already on the ground. Might have to take a road trip down south...

That's what the soil does to them here, but it was probably worn bad to begin with.
