A Lot Of Sweat For This Silver

[tabman]

Yesterday I headed back to a site that I've already detected to see how the Racer 2 would fair. It did a good job and found a whole lot of trash and clad coins but no silver. I decided to call it a day and drive around and look for a new site to detect.

I spotted a moving van in front of a 1936 house, so I hit the brakes. I got out and asked the lady standing in the yard if it would be OK for me to metal detect the yard. She said it would be OK, but for me not to get in the way of the movers since she is paying by the hour.

I went over the entire yard with the Racer 2 except for the best area, the edge of service sidewalk to the house. The movers were using it, so I decide I'd detect it the next morning when they were gone. I did manage to find a 1944 War Nickel and 10 wheat pennies.

This morning I hit the edges of the service walk with the Racer 2. I found some trash, 5 wheat pennies and some clad coins. To make sure that I didn't miss anything, I pulled out my F75DST to see what it could do. Right off I popped a couple of silver coins, a 1964 Rosie and a 1945 Mercury dime. Is the F75DST better than the Racer 2? Maybe I just know how to better operate the F75DST. Time will tell.

This was my 79th & 80th hunt for the year and my silver coin total for the year now stands at 217.

Congrats tabman, I still use the F75 LTD SE as my go to detector even though I have an XP Deus. The ground is way too dry to detect permissions in my area. I have been water detecting or hitting tot lots to keep me detecting.

Thanks! I didn't use my F75SE much until I got the DST upgrade, because of EMI issues. I'm trying a lot of different detectors, but it's going to be hard to beat the F75DST with the NEL Sharpshooter coil attached when searching for silver coins. My Tesoro detectors are still my go to detectors for gold rings.

Thanks! One at a time. This heat has slowed me down a lot.

Thanks! Those War Nickels are crazy. Sometimes they ID as pull tabs.

Thanks! I'm going to put the petal to metal when things cool off some. It's just too darn hot right now to do much detecting.

Thanks! Popping a cool bright silver coin out of the ground sure does put a big grin on your face.

Still pulling the goodies - like we had any doubt! Do you think the F75 or the Racer 2 is a faster machine? Looks like you have similar coils on both...

Ground is pretty dry here so have had to leave the park alone for a while - more rain on tap for this week. It's finally heated up to *almost* Memphis conditions here..sometimes the wind is just right to catch smoke from the wildfires, and make it a tough day to be outside...I'm ready for snow in September!
