Here is the silver I have been lucky enough to find with the Bounty Hunter 3300 dating back to late November 2012 when I first started detecting.

I work 6 days a week, so Sundays is the only whole day I can detect. I split the Sundays 50/50 with with the wife to go fishing this time of year and I get a few hours after work in when the weather lets me.

All of the silver in the pic, with the exception of the odd football shaped piece I found on an old property, have been found on two local schools..the most being from my old high school. I have them marked as "1st" "2nd", etc to show the order in which they were found.

Also found is a total of 30 old and new matchbox/tootsie toy cars, $145 in clad, about $25 of scrap copper and brass, a WW1 era US Army enlisted collar badge, and 25 wheat pennies, the oldest being a 1913.

Here are what the VDI numbers showed on each:

RINGS:

1st: 78 - 2-3 Inches
2nd: 89 - 2-3 Inches
3rd: 88 @ 2-3 Inches
4th: 100 @ 1-2 Inches

COINS:

1st: 105-109 @ 2"
2nd: 108-115 @ 4"
3rd: 97-100 @ 2"

Disney Piece: 82 @ 3"

Oval "P" marked piece: 99 @ 1"

Now..if someone here would loan me a e-trac to make sure I didn't miss any deeper targets :laughing7:

Thanks..missing is gold..I'm guilty of only digging high tones most of the time I've hunted, so all the land will soon get swept again for lower tones.
I have been digging a few strong 20-30's VDI's last few times out finding a few nickels and the usual foil and pull tabs, etc.
Main reason for skipping low tones this far out is limited time to detect and knowing the ratio of trash vs treasure and these school yards have a LOT of pull tabs.
