85 on vdi with AT pro

[MTJosh]

was out sunday at had a solid 85 hit. Not a typical number so was thinking some odd item or token. Was surprised when I popped out 5 pennies stacked and taped together. Zincs and coppers. This was in a house tear out area so might have been some kid playing around as one yard over found 8 pennies painted gold. So if you get a 85 it may be unique coin stack.

I dug a great sounding solid 85 not long ago with my at pro. It was three nickle's on top, then a 1962 quarter, then a 1951 wheatie on bottom all pancaked together at about 4 inches. It was my second silver quarter of the day...I wuz happy!
I have found silver rings that came in at 85 as well.

While quarters are usually a solid 84, I was on my way back to the car, swinging as I walked and got a SOLID 85..thought maybe silver quarter/half, and turned out to be a beautiful little .925 sterling silver ring...just as xr7ator stated. Actually my first silver, first ring...two firsts in one! ddf

Some crazy old timers would replace a fuse with stacked pennies if they didn't have a fuse on hand.. Was the house tore down or did it burn down?? LMAO

Quarters on your machine are a Solid 84...That's wild, On my Machine that is usually a Silver Dime...My Quarters are dead on 88-89....I do get 85's alot and they usally end up being a damn Wheatie or something..lol

I get a solid 86 or 87. But the ground conditions will affect it. Just like I can get a dime at 81 up to a 83. But anything 86 or higher is a quarter or something else that could be good. my last wheats came up 80-82 depending on depth. Also been getting a lot of lawnmower hits in this area so they can be all over the place with those odd edges and seldom are they flat in the ground

Always dig an eighty five just to get the crap outa there. Never pass up a deep fifty, or forty.

Remember differnt soil = differnt numbers. I was on the beach this last weekend for the first time and my VDI was a good 5 points lower on everything.

Why do you say that? Past experience tells you it could be something good?
