Detector(s) used
X-Terra70, X-Terra 50, Ace250, Ace150, GTI 1500,GTA 1000 Ultra, Tejon, Vaquero
Hea Fellow Tnetters

South West Texas produces some BIG SILVER

I woke up this morning and said hec its not raining so i turned on
the computer and check the Radar to see if there was any thing
showing up on it which is part of my daily routine, so i saw nothing
in the forcast so i decided to get out today @ a old house that has
produced a couple Nickels and several Wheaties and went over
there too hunt.

1st target was a 1951-D Wheatie then nothing except dang trash
for way over a hour and one half then hit my second target
anouther Wheatie 1955 then about 2' over i got an over load signal
so i lifted the coil to see what it could possibly be and it had tobe
some kinda Iron target that was close to the top of the ground so
I went back too hunting & diggin more trash up pulltabs, s-caps
and some can-slaw, then i decided to head towards the back side
of the old house where ive found the best finds at the house. I
decided to work right next too that old porch since ive never
checked it out, keep diggin up more dang junk then right @ the end
of the porch BANG that X-TERRA 70 went to squaking really LOUD
so i kneeled down and cut a U shaped plug and opened it up &
rechecked the target location the machine gave me a VDI of 46 @
7-8" deep
so i started to dig & used my gold scoop to remove the
dirt onto my towel, only dug on the outsides to make shure i did
not mess what ever was in there, i scanned every scoop of dirt
w/ the coil till i found it and out popped a 1826 .50¢ BUST Half
Dollar
i got up & started too jump around after i ran it under
some water from the truck yelling out
YeaaaaaHawwww.jpg

but still @ 4" deep the dirt was still like concrete.
