Finding silver coins in Utah

[McKell]

I own an Ace 250. I also live in Kearns. I have found clad coins but no silver ones. I have been to a lot of parks with no luck. Does my Ace not get deep enough to detect silver or am I just looking in the wrong places. I would like to find a silver coin. Where is a good place to find one?

If you are finding clad you will find silver, just not as much. Down south its the same most places are hit hard & have been for quite some time. watch for old houses being torn down or sidewalks being replaced in an old section of town. Of 1500 coins this year only six have been silver. Try to find where old playgrounds or schools were or where did the kids play 50 to 75 years ago.

The silver is in the old part of town.

I started with the Ace too, and found some deep silver with it. Start w/ sens on 4-5 and when you get a weak signal that only rings once every 2 or 3 passes try turning the sens UP on that target until it rings on every pass and the ace should be able to ID it better for you. If it is saying 8+ deep then dig it no matter what the display says. Go slow in places w/ lots of targets. Try digging only the deep signals so that you don't waste all your time on tangled turf pennies. Increases your odds. Hope this helped. GL

I'm new to this forum and would like to share something I found a number of years ago. I was looking around an old Assay office which was out in Frisco, Utah, a ghost town near Milford, Utah. I was looking for old crucibles and in the sage brush laying on the ground I found a barber dime dated 1908. Although it had been there for a long time, it was in a fine condition. I went and got my metal detector from my vehicle and spent an hour searching but found nothing more of coins. Back in those old days, an assay cost 10 cents and I wonder who lost the ten cent silver coin. Was it a customer or the assayer himself? I'll never know, still it was a unexpected and enjoyable find.

Anymore, your best chance of finding silver(next to buying rolls from the banks) is looking in the yards of old houses. back in the early 70's I would often find 50 silver coins in a day. Now i'm lucky to find 15 in a year...Kane 23

Another good way is to wait for old houses or sidewalks roads anything like that, to be torn up and hit those spots up. THe only silver coins I have found in Utah is from my own front yard.
