have not had much if any time to swing the coil lately (pool project in backyard). I let my future uncle borrow the etrac for a bit tonight as I worked in the back. He took it to his place which has produced a few merc dimes and such lately.. He brought it back to me and I told the wife I wanted to hit one target before heading in. I hit a 12-48 12-47 and could only get it from one direction but it sounded really good when it would hit.. So I dug it and when I threw the probe in there i would hit 12-46 but still sounded really good.
I took another chunk out and bam out fell this huge chunk of silver all I could see of it was the outer edge.. I ran to the hose about 8 feet away and let the water slowly take away the dirt. No idea this thing was going to be seated (oldest thing I have pulled from the yard is a 1906 IH). I could not believe it as I started to see the stars around the outer edge of the coin. turned it over and started to see quar. dol coming from below the mud.. I literally freaked out (no really ask the wife haha). I was jumping up and down yelling at her through the window (she does not share the same excitement I do about detecting haha).. anyway on to the pic.. you can see it in the hole (after I gave it a slow rinse) just how close it was to my house.. looks like i need to tear up the crappy brick walkway and hit a bit closer to the house..
its only my third silver for the year before this the only two coins I have found of any date were the 1906 ih and a 1919 merc (yesterday). this new etrac is so amazing. I am loving every minute of this hobby!!
