ever use your metal detector to crh?

[hawaiianboi]

i was wondering if anyone has ever tried? it could save lots of time not having to re roll the skunks, or is that taking the fun out of it.

The detectors that use the VDI system might can tell the difference from a clad coin and a silver but if they are mixed roll there is no way... they would have to be a full roll of silver... so its not practical IMO

You'd have to pass the coins by the coil one at a time. Might as well just look at the date. Would be quicker.

However, you can use a detector to distinguish between copper 1982 cents and zinc 1982's.

Hope she lets you get a detector. The quality of finds beat the p--s outa crh'ing.

If you just continue with the hobby for a while soon you'll have enough silver stashed away to buy a metal detector with your finds
