Got Big Silver Today

[john37115]

I got a break between the rain showers today and managed to get in about 2 hours before dark at my new honey hole. I was using the F75 today and managed to dig some keepers. I got a wierd signal that was kinda bouncing an did not want to pinpoint at all but it was showing 10" on the meter so I thought what to heck and dug it. It was in gravel that even wet as it was I could barely manage to get my predator pegasus shovel into. I was jumping on the shovel and chipping away and finally I scanned my dirt and got a hit and found the Walking 50 cent piece stuck to a 1943 silver nickel with some hard blackish green crud ( I hit the 50 cent piece with my shovel and said some choice words ). Needless to say I stuck the pinpointer down in the hole and thoroughly scanned what appeared to be an old coin spill. Nothing else came out of the hole. I did manage to find a couple more silver dimes and two wheats. All the rest was clad today.

Neat finds John, yea pity that you hit the 50c with your shovel, but its hard to dig in gravel (especially when you don't know what the signal is telling you!

Yeah looks like me and you need a lesson on the Wide and Deep class. Dig a wide and deep hole. I to took my F75 out yesterday evening and dug a couple of silver coins. One of them I hit with my shovel. It was a beauty of a 1928 Canadian 10 cent silver piece. Unlike yours I really hit mine. Almost cut it in half. Didn't have my Pinpointer with me. I won't leave home without it.
