3 silvers in 2 days + Video!

[mr helton]

Hey all, it's been a great couple of days. I found about 30 older wheats + 3 silvers in 2 days! I went to the 1840s neighborhood that was the original in my city and started detecting at the first house I knocked on. I just finished it up today and will be continuing down the line so expect more great finds and videos!

First off here's the video

And here is the SILVER :O


Thanks for looking and happy hunting from Michigan!

Thanks everyone. On my F2 I have the small coil, but currently I'm using a borrowed Spectrum XLT which does not. I can't imagine going back to the F2 just to use the small coil, and don't plan to purchase one for the borrowed detector because I am trying to save for an etrac.

Nice finds, I take it you don't like bug spray? This stuff works very good. I like your video, well done. Hope you go back there looks like a great area, there is no way you found everything there. Good luck in your future hunts. HH

I actually keep meaning to ask what bug spray you guys use lol

I think I'll try this stuff because they were driving me NUTS!

Great video. It does feel awkward trying to film when you on someone else property. Great finds. How did you approach the home owner to ask their permission?

Well it was the first first house I knocked on, and all I did was say my name, what part of town I live in, that I metal detect for old coins and relics as a hobby, then asked if she would mind if I metal detected her property in hopes of finding some.

Simple as that.

I was scared to death for the first 2-3 houses, heart racing and all. After about 10 I didn't even hesitate. You should go for it.
