Hello Everyone,
For anyone that has wanted to see someone find a deep coin in the turf, or for anyone who got skunked today and needs their silver fix, here's a short video that my buddy, Jon (goldenapples) , filmed while at an old park last month. Our goal that day was to try and film a deep silver coin, from initial signal with the Minelab SE to final coin in hand. I marked a number of signals that I thought would be good candidates for a silver coin. Most were deep memorials or wheaties. The final signal turned out to be the silver coin we were hoping for. It's not an oldie, but it was deeeep, and it was silver. So sit back and enjoy this short video.
A couple notes before viewing the video:
- For you skilled turf hunters, you will see me using my sunray probe before I dig my plug....that wasn't intended. I was only killing time to allow the park ranger to drive by before I made my plug. You will hear his car driving by in the background.
- I try not to field clean my old silver finds, but for the video I wanted to identify my coin, so I rubbed the dirt off it a little. One side of the coin was badly stained, and I knew it was also a later/common silver coin.
Hopefully, one day, I will be able to get a real old silver dig on film. I'll keep trying. I have a couple more also, if you like this one.
Enjoy!! That's why I created it. For you SE newbies, you can also gain some understanding of the "minelab wiggle" technique, along with the high, fluty sound of silver.
