F75DST And Deus Concur That It's For Certain A Silver Half Dollar
I met up with Taylor (CZconnoisseur) this morning at a 1956 house to do some detecting together. After finding around 20 Memorial pennies and not a single wheat penny, I was wanting to move to a new site.
Finally I got a good sounding audio response and a VDI number of 89 that locked on like a pit bull dog. I called Taylor over to see what his Deus had to say about it. We both agreed it was a silver half. Even though it was a strong loud audio response, the audio was mellow with roundness on the edges.
Being very careful I cut a wide plug and popped a 1953 Ben Franklin Half Dollar that was about 4 inches deep. This is my 8th silver half for the year and my second Franklin. Talk about lucky!
Oh yeah I also found a Ike dollar coin. I put it in my vehicle since it wouldn't fit in my water bottle and I almost forgot about it. Taylor and I compared our detector readings on it as well. We thought it might be a silver dollar since it had a VDI 91 reading, but we agreed that it didn't have the smoothness on the edges on the audio response that silver coins produce. Damn we're good! I popped a 1971 Ike dollar at 4 inches deep.
This was my 68th hunt for the year and my silver coin total for the year now stands at 195. I only need five more by the end of June. It's doable!
My F75DST detector settings: 9.0, Sensitivity 68-70 (heavy EMI), DE Mode, 4H Tones, Disc Level 0, GB 72.
