I've been waiting on some rain since my last hunt, but it never came. Today it was cloudy, windy and had a 50% chance of rain. I decided I couldn't wait anymore, I needed a silver fix.

I decided to detect the yard that was next to the one that I last detected. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/tesoro/465904-tesoro-outlaw-rampage.html I had high hopes since I found plenty of silver in the yard next door.

Right off the bat I found a silver quarter. That got me fired up. The next silver coin that I found was so black and dirty that I thought that it was a clad coin at first. After a closer look I realized it was a silver coin.

Then I found what I thought was a junk ring. It was all tarnished so I threw it into my pouch.

The next silver that I got was a mercury dime and it to was also all blacken and tarnished. That made me take a closer look at the ring again. It turns out to be silver, not a junker as I first thought.

This is the first time ever that I've run into blacken coins like this. Most coins that I find come out of the ground as clean as can be. The coins that I found around 40 feet away next door were all bright and shiny. I wonder what the deal is?

Oh yeah, my setting were: discrimination just above iron, a little negative on the ground balance and full sensitivity and I also found 12 wheat pennies.

Thanks. I try to keep the discrimination set low and dig most every audio signal in hopes of finding a gold ring or unmask a silver coin. Quite a few of my silver coins that I find are in holes with other trash targets. I always grin really big when a nail comes out of the hole first especially when I get a really good audio signal, because I know that's not what my Tesoro was sounding off on.

Thanks. I don't normally find coins around here that come out the ground looking that. It took a lot elbow grease to clean them.

Thanks. It's always fun, but this high heat and humidity is taking its toll on me. I can't wait for Fall to get here, so I can hang in there longer.

Or a fire ? I was finding coin after groaty coin at an old house site. Then I realized that the springs etc. scattered around them were from a burned couch.

I don't think that it was cause by a fire. I'm thinking it's the type soil. It's different than what I usually detect in.

Seems to be at least every week! I just haven't had time or it's been 95 degrees with 90% humidity. I am not much for sweeting while detecting since I'm outside a good portion of the day in this heat!
