3 silvers with Outlaw today..

[pinenut]

Thought I'd try a less trashy spot today, but still near where I recently found gold and silver rings, and a bit of clad. Took my Outlaw, and instead of using my favorite "trash coils", the 5.75 or 8", I put on my previously untested 11x8 Widescan (I'd only used the 11x8 in 4-pin before).

Since I was away from the heavily trashed areas, I decided to set up for best depth, running negative on the GB and sensitivity near max... AND in all-metal, instead of disc. I figured the with the Widescan, I'd have to dig some iron anyway (nails and bottlecaps), so might as well just put up with it..

Success!

My first Walking lady, a '43D, two silver Rosies, one wheat cent and a '40 Jefferson.. (plus a little clad and some trash..)

Think I finally found a good spot; I'm sure there's more to come..

Congratulations on the walker!
That's a hell of a find.

Very nice, and I can hear Austin Powers' voice in my head now. All I go today was a snake. Scared it real good.

Pinenut, congratulations. That is totally out there in center field.
Double wow wow
When I find my first silver coin, I'm going blast off.

Did the silver lady have a different sound than normal , like on a clad quarter?

 

[Stoof2010]

That half is in phenomenal shape!!!
Congrats!!

Vern, it just sounded compact, solid and smooth, saying "dig me". Definitely louder than a dime or cent, but no overload like a squished can.

Pinenut, sorry to bug you, but I was wondering approx how many inches down were the silver coins?

 

[pinenut]

no problem, Vern..

Pinenut, sorry to bug you, but I was wondering approx how many inches down were the silver coins?

The dimes were about 7-8" and the half only about 5-6". The 1/2 was in the side of what was probably an old sled run, the dimes on top of the mountain in composted pine needles. Looked like people had probably camped there years ago.

Outlaws always get what they want.

Did you get the 11x8 in the 3coil pack?

 

[pinenut]

Did you get the 11x8 in the 3coil pack?

It came with my Outlaw in a "custom" 3 coil pack, put together by the previous owner. Other two coils I got with it were the 8" and 10½" donuts.

Nice bunch of finds! Hang on to that 10.5 inch concentric search coil, because mine would hit 9+inch dimes in my soil when used on my Outlaw.

Man Pinenut, that beauitiful walking lady sure gets prettier and prettier. Can't help but stare, not lusting for her, but for what it is. Never lusted for a coin before.
The other three are also mesmerizing. Oh Lord, maybe I need counseling, beginning to lust.........help.

 

[pinenut]

she is a beauty..

Too bad our government can't mint coins with the style, beauty and quality they used to. I lusted for those Walking Liberty's myself. I still have a well worn one my grandpa gave me, 40 years ago. Finally found one! She's the first ½ dollar coin I've found, and a silver beauty.

Makes me sad to see what crap our modern coins are, when I look at a handful of half eaten zincs..

Congratualtions on the nice silver finds!

IMHO: What I like most about my Tesoro machines is they give me a reason to dig and do not try to talk me out of digging...finds always increase if you dig!

 

[Billinoregon]

Finding a half like that one is on my bucket list!

Not that I'm greedy...but wouldn't mind finding a few more myself!
