Found silver coins with new machine!!!

[jraven]

I recently purchased a new Minelab X-Terra 705.. I was still a bit skeptical about the performance, but after finding these silver coins I have begun to remove and doubt about performance. The silver was found at an old Elementary School . I have detected the school numerous times with my old machine and never found silver..

An evening hour hunt and I found all 3. 1917 Mercury Dime, 1925 Mercury Dime and a 1954 Rosie..

Now that your machine has had its first taste of silver, you will find it easier to find more! Great photos!

Thx, The 1917 was about 5". The others were about 4".

wonder why you did not get em before then? I know I have returned to several sites that I gridded pretty tight with my ace 250 and I went back and rehunted them sites with my x-70 and found several deeper coins that my ace just could not reach. Guess you just missed em........great finds either way!

This was the first time I hit this spot with the 705... The coins may have been a bit deeper, I was so exited I really dont remember exactly how deep they were.. I have hit this spot with my old radio shack machine several times.. That machine has targeted dimes at that depth before, but never silver... I geuss the 705 gave a better signal.... Not sure , but I hope theres more out there...

This was my same experience G4e... the Ace missed the deeper stuff.

the ace does not compare to the depth of the x-terras, I don't care what anyone says.......there are enough people who have upgraded from the ace to the xterra to verify that

Three silver dimes in one hour at a school sounds like you came along with the right detector at the right time.

That is how you make those little runs on silver coins. It sounds like you might fill a gap or two in the Whitman folder.

I like silver coin runs. Never experienced one with my old machine (radio shack special)... I hope they continue...
