Finally got a SILVER coin with my new (used) XLT ~ silver #60 for the year

[oddcoins]

As most of you know already I love my Spectrum XLT ~ it's been a great machine for me for years now! I bought a second Spectrum XLT from a guy for only $250 in late June of this year. The machine seems to work just fine, but for some weird reason all the silver coins that I've dug since I bought it was found with my older XLT that I've had since 1999.

But I changed that today! I went detecting for about 30 minutes after I ate lunch and used my newer XLT and dug a 1963-D Silver Rosie dime, two wheats ('41-S & '50-S), and about a buck in clad. This is my silver coin #60 for the year (that's not counting any of the WAR nickels).

This is the forth time in a row that I've dug silver on my short lunch break detecting trips. Every Wednesday me and a few co-workers go out for a burrito lunch. I eat a big ol' burrito, then go dig some silver, and then head back to my office with a full belly and silver in my pocket!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Congrats on Silver Coin #60...What's your goal for the year? You're on pace to top 100+ easily...HH

Hello! I actually don't have a "number" goal for the year. I just wanna dig as many as I can! Last year I dug 66 silver coins & two Gold coins. So, I'm sure I'll beat that 66 silver count from last year, but I'll be surprised if I end up pulling out any more gold coins!

My only goal that I've set for myself was in 2007 to dig a Barber Quarter ~ but didn't do it. Now we're 2/3 into 2008 and I have yet to dig a Barber quarter. I've dug two Barber Halves and a dozen Barber Dimes, but no Barber Quarters?! WHY?!!

Later!
