Finally Caught One On Video! 6 More Silver, 20 Wheats, Ferry Token, Silver Ring

Captn SE · Jul 9, 2008

Hello Fellow Tnetters!!

I'm happy to say that the silver streak after 6 consecutive hunts with my new SE Pro coil remains alive! :headbang:

On Monday, I met Jon(GoldenApples) at a coastal park that I hadn't been back to since Mike(oknorom) and I couldn't find a silver coin in it last year. We had found wheaties that day, so I knew there just had to be a silver or two hiding somewhere in the park. I felt it would be a good place to challenge the SE Pro coil. Within minutes of arriving, I marked two signals for Jon to listen to before I plugged them. The first signal, he heard clearly. The second was a little fainter, but he heard the whisper of a high-tone. I was anxious to find out what they were. Jon began filming, and I proceed to pull a silver coin out of each plug. I couldn't believe it. Within minutes, I had two silver coins. A couple of hours later, Mike joined in on the fun. I had a very respectable day, netting 6 silvers, including a silver ring, which looks like it has a disintegrating abalone shell inlay, 20 wheats, and a Los Angeles Harbor Ferry Token. I forgot to mention that the small sliver of a coin next to the merc is actually a piece of a wheatie. The SE pro coil is very sensitive to small targets!

Hope everyone enjoys this video. The second recovery in the vid is a classic "deepie" signal, which results in a nice find. Finally!!!

A special thanks goes to Jon for filming and editing the video! It was very exciting to share those two morning digs with him. Thanks, buddy!! :thumbsup:

Thanks for viewing, and Happy Hunting to all!
KEEP THE PASSION HIGH!

Nice diggs and video man.

I pulled up a really deep barber like that the other day at a park I never visited before. It was down on a path deep 8 9 inches but the chirp of the tone i.d allowed it to come in. I love pulling out really deep coins missed by others.

Thanks, Nat. Yeah, I'm glad I was finally able to find silver at this park. I considered it a challenge which the SE Pro coil passed with flying colors. Hope your new family pet is doing well!! :thumbsup:

That SILVER sure is shining! Man I loved the Real Silver U.S. coins!!! Great haul of beautiful silver coins Captain!! :wink:

I really enjoyed the video and I hope you guys will keep them coming. :thumbsup:

I could watch the whole hunt! lol Congratulations on a productive outing, looks like a very nice park. Was surprised to see what looks like 7 of the items have damage from the lawnmowers. It is 110 degrees here today so no outdoor hunting for us, but this video makes me want to race out and detect! I wondered if you could tell me what you are using for your grass mat, it looks like thin black rubber material. Thanks again Dan

HH, Mark

Thanks, Mark. I'm using a piece of an old truck tire inner-tube. Works great. Yes, lots of lawnmowers all over the S. CA turf here.

Good luck on your next hunt!

Thanks, Civil. Glad you liked it. That's not a stupid question. I'm always looking for the other half, or third, of the silver/wheat I just found. I've been able to find a matching halfs four times: once with a Rosie (5 ft apart from each other), twice with a wheatie, and once with a Silver Quarter(found two pieces of the quarter; couldn't find the final piece though).

HH,

Wow great video Dan :icon_king:

. And the silver is as good as it comes. You should have a huge video portfolio by now. Enough for an agent to use over at the Travel or Outdoor Channel, you should have your own show, or at least be a gest or costar.

If Leo is a prospect, you should be too. I hope you get to meet Kirsten Gum one day, she’s hot. Well I should say that she’s hot to an old guy like me. Maybe you can take her hunting, at least you’ll get more exposure that way.

Keep it up and thanks for sharing, good luck.
