- White's XLT
A week or two ago, my neighbor showed me a $5 gold piece her mother had; I was happy to see it and hold it in my hand. As an experiment, we put the piece on the ground and I waved the XLT over it. I got a pretty good signal, with a steady 58 showing on the screen. I know that ground conditions could be different, but it could be helpful information someday. Anyway, near the end of another empty morning (one Memorial), I was around the old silver farm house, seeing what I may have missed in earlier hunts. Right next to an old stone walkway, I got a 58, a signal that in the past I may have let go. Recalling the recent lesson with the gold piece, I dug this one; sure enough, it was a 5! 
Center, that is, with an Indian on front and Buffalo on the back. Yep, a Buff, with no date, but I might never have dug it if not for that test. So, a grand total of six cents at the silver farm today 
. I'm doing an area that I don't expect to find much, but given the property history, I can't take the chance and overlook it. We'll get back to finding silver soon enough.
