I don't know what it is about silver that seems to be so elusive for me. I find them, but usually alone, few, and far between. This was the first time in 3 years, that I found two in one day. This weekend was hot and nasty, I worked at least 30 hours over the 4th - 5th outside in the weather. I manage 2 One hour hunts on the 5th, which I had to split in two because of the heat. This was a first time for this location. A High school 56 Miles from home. My first signal +94 VDI on my MXT Pro, SAY WHAT? And I couldn't be happier with my first find. Just under 11 grams of .925 Silver, Spinning fish and all.

Second hunt that day, much hotter and slower, but I managed another silver, though unmarked and very tiny, tested positive. Also found a 1950d Wheatie. The two hunts produced $4.06 in clad.

Hi MPG =) Wow 56 Miles, thats what I'd call dedication, I don't get to travel that far, always have things that have to be taken care of. Nice spinner ring there and you have some kind of silver testing kit apparently, what is it need some info please?

Also have been going cold turkey on the digs here it is maddening, think its been over a week since I detected now. Thinking about doing some gravel parking areas the soil is that hard at least all-ready.
