Battle Creek Sept 9 round 2

[Giant056]

It won't be long and this site will be gone, I managed to make some good finds for round 2, the fish scale (Canadian 5 cent) was down about 5 inches and VDI'd just like a zinc or Indian head. I am amazed at the depth that I get with the little 4x6DD that I get with my MXT.

The thing that's neat about the old Canadian silver is the content is .925, this is my first old one yet, my brother found 2 of them in the same area the day before but they were queen Victoria 5 cents and both a little older. After 1919 they went to 80% silver instead of .925(sterling)

Wow, Giant, your finds are exceptional! Love the IH's and Canadian coin. I am so envious.

Can I ask how large an area you are covering or roughly how many hours you have spent?
I know I need to broaden my searches and spend more time to find some better stuff but TIME is the missing element right now for me.

Anne my brother found the spot out in Battle creek last Friday and I've been using the small coil (4x6DD) on my MXT it works really good for areas with a lot of trash, I just go real low and slow and listen for the faint signals, I've never used an Ace 250 but I've heard a lot of good things about them, Al at Prostock detectors told me it was his top seller The spot was about 2 city blocks long and most of the finds were between where the sidewalk was and the road, the silver 5 cent was in a patch of grass though (where they hadn't dug) and it was a faint sound so I dug it thinking ah it's probably a zinc but you never know!
