Recent Safari finds

[Ray in CA]

I've been able to get out a bit more with my new Safari lately. The silver is still eluding me, but I did manage a pretty beat up dateless Buffalo nickel (also posted in the Minelab forum) at about 5" and a Boy Scout Neckerchief slide in good condition down about 8" from a park that dates back to the 20's.

The nickel rang a solid +13 on the Safari and the neckerchief came in at +37. I think the neckerchief probably dates back to the 50s.

Nice find there on the buffalo, I think you are right about the age of the neckerchief slide, I've found several of them.

Very nice. I am sure as you get used to the Safari, you will have some very nice finds including the silver!

Thanks for the comments, everyone! Personally, I'm just dying to get over a silver coin just so I can hear how different the tone is to everything else. I can air test a silver coin, but you and I know it's quite different hearing it in the ground. I'm starting to get the deepies too (I consider over 7" "deep"), and hunting in all metal is a breeze for the most part now.

Ant, did you ever get out to the old Catholic School?
