Silver dimes trifecta

[One_more_hole]

Well, I came up short on getting my first grand slam. I'd recently been hunting a back corner of one of my favorite parks and finding wheats. I returned yesterday evening and dug a nice Merc first hole. Three more wheats, a '41 nickel and a Rosie. Last keeper was a well worn Barber dime. Everything was in the 6-7" range. No seated to be had, though. Conditions were near perfect: Moist ground... low trash... few clad... secluded and quiet ( except for one large barking dog behind a nearby fence ).

I want to note that I was a little too critical of the Equinox last year when I first began using it. I think I had become too accustomed to reasonably accurate target ID and that is not the Nox's strong point. Truth is, the Equinox is an absolute beast! I now think of it like a badger or beagle... it is a relentless, fast, deep-penetrating coin getter that will sniff out anything in the dirt. Although you do get a general idea of the target, it's really a matter of "good...dig it" vs "junk...skip it." Once you accept that and just focus on digging the "good" numbers range instead of in-depth analysis of each signal it will produce like crazy. I run Park 1, multi freq, 22-24 sensitivity and notch out everything below 11

That being said, I think this area will be ideal for my CTX. Maybe there is a seated hiding in there somewhere ?

Great hunt! Those dimes sure are shiny!!
I agree about the nox. I set aside my etrac last August and have only been keeping the battery charged to make sure it doesn't go bad. I haven't needed it yet! My silver coin find rate has only gone UP since the switch.

Sorry, I totally disagree, never dig numbers.(It's a bad habit on any machine, assuming you want to find gold etc)

Way to go on some great finds. Awesome!!

Congrats! There's just certain pleasures I like. Very slowly scratching off scratch lottery tickets. Dime in a hole with only part of the "one dime" showing, and taking it slow using the water bottle to build the suspense. A tiny glint of silver in the hole and waiting the entire day for your buddy to run over and look at it before it's identified. Ahh, the good life!

One dime from each time period, very unique and unusual. Great job!

Thx Dennis. The flash of white when silver pops always gets me! Also, the green wheats and Indians.

Hello Crusader. I rely on a combination of sound and numbers. For me, the Minelab numbers have proven reliable for coinshooting, which is what I focus on. I did dig a nice 14k ring with diamonds late last year because of the signal even though it Id’d as a pull tab. I do have a Tesoro Tejon.... have you tried one of those over there?
