Re: 2.5 pound silver ingot

It looks like it silver, have to wonder why its not marked. Maybe a handmade job

Plus how do you lose something like that........oops I just dropped my silver bar, where is it... oh there it is embedded in my foot

I love silver & that would be a very cool piece in anyones collection, pretty much a find of your detecting career

ive used alot of detectors and have found things with even an old vlf detector
but will have to say that the xlt spectrum is a fine machine. but remember any machine you use, you have to learn it .plus you can have the best of the best but if you havent learned the history of were you live.and find some of the older stuff plus you have to seek to find. good luck if you enjoy the hobbie then its rewarding nomatter what you find.
