I was up working last night still fighting this cold and something told me to go try one more time to shell island in the swamp. The last 3 times I went I blanked. So I put the 6” on the 800 and started swinging I began to get desperate and digging iffy signals and it wasn’t working. After 2 hours I told myself to trust the machine and if I don’t get a solid signal we’ll then so be it. I was so exhausted digging those shells and being sick, well all of a sudden I get a solid 19 and went at it. I saw this small thing that I thought was a washer. Put it in my mouth looked at it and couldn’t believe my good fortune. I did it!!!! I was persistent because I knew something else HAD to be there. The 800 has been good to me on small silver, I’ve pulled 2 Capped Bust Half Dimes, 3 Half Reals, 1787 1 Reales a 1840 Half Liberty Dime and last but not least my 1852 Trime. I believe that all the smallest silver coins there is. I got very lucky. The more I work the luckier I get. Unbelievable...I have to learnt dig less and trust my machine more.

Nice! They are so tiny.
Ohhhh, but I want one!
Excellent, excellent job searching that out. Taking the time to go back out there and really scour it with the small coil.
The 800 seems great on the little ones. I've gotten 2 foreign half dime sized silvers (1919 Mexican 10 centavos and 1914 Canadian 5 cents) with mine in the past 4 months. Never dug anything that small with the etrac in 2 years prior. Maybe just weird luck, though.
Anyway... awesome job finding what could (by all rights, SHOULD) have been lost forever!

Thanks for the kind words. That 800 hit tiny targets. Sometimes good sometimes bad lol

Huge congrats Truth! I found one last month with the 600 range up a bit lower in Field2 with the standard coil, 17 for me. Such a tiny coin, yet a big thrill to finally pop!

So so small it gives a big rush on that tiny coin
