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)BandB1 said:
Love the IH's and Canadian coin. I am so envious.
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 sellerMichiganne said:Wow, Giant, your finds are exceptional!
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.

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!
