First Silver Coin on the Garrett Ace 350

[Spurphy]

Today I found my first silver while metal detecting. I have been detecting in a park near where I live for the past few days and have only found pennies and a clad Texas quarter. But tonight, I found a 1946 Roosevelt dime. I do not own a pinpointer, so I had to use the pinpointing feature on my Garrett Ace 350 to narrow down its location in the plug. I was expecting to find a bottle cap or an old aluminum can, so when the rosy popped out, I almost screamed. The coin was about 2 inches deep. I knew it was silver since it was so clean and shiny coming right out of the ground. I will be going back to this park many times because there has got to be more!

Congrats spurphy. How many hours of hunting before you found silver?

Congrats spurphy. How many hours of hunting before you found silver?

Well, this was my first real public metal detecting, I had done my own yard to learn the ACE 350. I had been at this park three times before finding silver. If I had to estimate hours, I would say 10-15 hours of hunting at this park before I found the silver dime. This park had a large amount of trash ranging from bottle tops, aluminum cans, and other miscellaneous chunks of metal. It was quite frustrating at first since the trash usually shows up as 10/25 cents on the ACE 350, so I was stuck digging it in hopes of a coin. There were however, a ton of pennies (two of them wheat cents). But now, I can usually tell just by the pinpointing feature on the ACE 350 if it is a coin or not. The signal drops off rather quickly for a coin, and for trash it is usually more of a broad signal while pinpointing. I must say, with the pinpointing feature of the ACE 350, my recovery time has greatly reduced.

Still looking for my first silver. Congrats!

 

[BadM0nkey]

Congrats! May it be the first of thousands!

My first silver was on my first day MD. I found a VF 1943 merc only 2 inches deep in wood chips on a school playground. Must have been for show and tell and got dropped.

Nice find. I have the Garrett Ace 350 also the Garrett Pin Pointer. I love them ,but have only been able to go out a dozen times or so, for the public parks all around me evidently have ordinances, against detecting.
