Got in a 5 hour hunt at the pounded ball diamond and the silver STILL popped out

[silverfreak]

I hardly ever get more than 2 to 3 hours per hunt in but I'll be cooped up for a few days so I went for the whole afternoon. I didn't even clean these goodies off as you can see.. cause' I'm going to be late for work. I figured I'd give the 10 x 14 Excelerator coil a spin today...and man did it pick some goodies out of a pretty trashy area... AND on edge. The first thing I dug was a merc down about 8" ...the pressure was gone now...cause' I would have been VERY happy with just one silver coin from this ball diamond. It has been beat to death for 30 years by every detectorist known to man...AND his dog. About 45 minutes later I got a very sweet sounding "bouncer" accross the top...BUT it kept weaseling it's way back to the top right corner...so I dug. Out popped the SLQ ...yippee! After that...coins just kept popping out. Most of these coins were on edge or at least tilted...but this coil always finds me something because "on edge" coins are it's specialty. Dug quite a few wheaties...the wedding band...2 mercs...2 roosevelts...the SLQ...the saq. dollar coin...and the sterling silver charm. A 5 silver afternoon ...that almost never happens anymore at the worn out sites I hunt. I sincerely am happy if I can find just ONE silver coin at my beat up sites. Since last Sunday's trip to St. Louis...this gives me 10 silvers in a week. Man I LOVE this hobby. One of my main goals this year is to find a SLQ with a date. After 30 years of hunting...still don't have one. This one is STILL a thrill as is ANY slq...cause' they don't pop out often. This is only my second one in the last 5 years...so I'm thankful

WTG again Bryce, you sure know how to make the most of any site you happen to be at.

Does that charm say what I think it says? Too funny.

Great finds Bryce. Good luck with that dated SLQ. I have been looking at getting a second coil for my SE. The sunray 8 inch looks to be a good choice or I have seen you and several other people use the EX2 coil on the SE. Don't know too much about the excelerator coils still learning. I am still working on those deep signals, got several at an old park the other day, one way high tones. When I flipped the plug could not find a signal again. Dug deeper and no signal with the probe so I gave up. Thanks for your help.

Thanks DF. SLQ's are my favorite coin. I just checked my slq finds over the last 30 years...and I've found ONLY 3...ALL with no dates. One came back in the 80's...one last year...and then this one.

Yeah, nice haul. Maybe you should have saved some for next week. Maybe some for the next guy and his dog. Yeah, those SLQ's are nice even without dates.

Wow I wish I knew my machine as well as you seem to know yours! I went with a smaller coil not larger. Guess I need a larger one now too...........


Great finds those are definitely worth being proud of!

Thanks civilman1. I still have my xlpro and a fisher cz70pro...but I find myself leaning towards "the darkside" more often
Seriously though...I will always have my Whites and my Fisher. I don't care what type of machine comes out....the xlpro and the cz70 pro will always be in my stable.
