went back to my buddies rental house I had ONE hour, hit trash, penny, penny, trash, trash, quarter trash etc.........I was about out of time and was swinging on the way to my car, I got a dime hit, then as I re-checked it bounced from dime to penny, to pulltab, over and over. It said it was 6" deep so I figured I might as well dig. I dug a flap and checked the flap no signal, re-checked the hole no signal. I thought here we go again another disappearing signal. I replaced the flap and stood up and re-checked the signal was there again.

I lifted it off again cranked up the sensitivity two notches and the signal re-appeared, the target was still in the hole. I dug down a little and saw something shiny and there it was, my FIRST silver. Ring number 4 and it is finnally a GOOD one! I did the happy dance and headed home to post this up

congratulations! sometimes with an object shaped like that it can be tough to lock on and really get a repeatable signal. well you just have to dig. depends on the angle of the object (buried in the ground) and the angle of your coil. usually when i get a questionable (but somewhat promising) signal i pinpoint it, then sweep over the pinpointed spot very close to the ground, that is usually the most dependable reading. also i will turn myself 90 degrees and sweep the target perpendicular to the way i first was sweeping, and take that reading into consideration. now when you hit your first silver coin, the detector should scream at you nice and clear.
 

Awesome job! First silver is always the hardest one! :thumbsup:
