In 2 years I've found only one silver coin, but it's a humdinger! 1923 Peace silver dollar. Amazingly it was a surface eyeball find! And yep, in an old overgrown field with evidence of a few old concrete foundations in it. We'd detected that old field a lot, finding groovy things. So -- you never know where or when you'll find treasure. If I hadn't been SLOWLY walking back & forth in a pattern staring at the ground while my son had his turn with detector, wouldn't have found my silver dollar! Nearly passed it by as it looked like a dusty old white poker chip, lol. But leaned closer, saw the rays radiating from her head & busted out crying cuz at that instant I knew what I'd found I've noticed lots of you guys yell or cuss when you make a cool find, but this old lady usually just cries or laughs. Another suggestion to maximize your finding silver coins is to get permission from private property owners to detect their property in the oldest sections of your town. Have fun every time you go out! Silver will surprise you happily soon! Andi
