Got to know how to read the Secret Code to find silver!!

[drodda777]

I worked extra long today to catch up on the work missed yesterday hunting with Dr. Ace. I decided after dinner I would go back to the same small park that The Doctor and I hit yesterday. I got there around 8:30pm and it was already starting to get dark. I hunted till the park closed at 10pm and found a few more goodies. I was tweaking my parameters on the E-trac today and decided to try this new setting out tonight. I hunted the exact same spot in the small park as I hunted yesterday. This area is really only about 20' x 20' square and it is where I found the silver mercs and V nickel yesterday. I was getting all kinds of weird signals though yesterday. So tonight I dug any weird signal to figure out what the machine was trying to tell me. Here is a list of what I found. I think the machine was screaming " DIG YOU FOOL!!!!!!"

Most of these were between 6 inches deep and 10 inches deep.

Old Spoon
Silver Button
1908 Barber Dime
1945 Mercury dime
1964 Rosie to complete the Silver Dime Trifecta
1941 wheat
1945d wheat
1940 nickel
Clad mostly dimes as I was zeroing in on the old dimes.
1939 Radio Orphan Annie Secret Decoder Badge. -----This was found as I was going through my garbage pouch which I always save and go through at home. Thought it was trash?

These were my 10th,11th, and 12th silver since April first when I started this new hobby. I would list my firsts, but since I am still new to this hobby almost everything is a first for me. While the silver was great and I did do another Happy Dance. Finding the Radio Orphan Annie secret decoder badge was a very pleasant surprise in the trash pouch.

I hope everyone is having as good a time finding keepers.

Thanks for reading my long explanation,

Dave,

Newbies aren't supposed to be finding what you've been finding so far for the past 16 days.

Wow, a dime trifecta to boot. You're a natural, and it's only going to get better the more hours you put in the turf with your new machine.

Congrats to you! Bruce is going to be GREEN with envy!

That is how I knew I had something, my wife is obsessed with that movie, she is the one who told me what it was. After I woke her up of course form making noise cleaning things in the kitchen sink.

When Bruce wakes up and reads this post he is going to freak! In a good way I hope, not like the stalker type who grabs a gun and comes looking for me? I mean in the way a friend would freak if another friend hit the lottery or something?

I bought the MD about 10 days before the 1st of April. I left the next day on a family vacation and took all the books and materials with me while in the hotel I read everything I could about this hobby. I have tweaked my machine every night after going over the days results to try and dial in the machine to my liking. Or should I say to the liking of the silver gods, to try and get them to give up as much as I can find.

It is amazing the signals those deep silver dimes can give off. It is definitely not like the old days of "beep beep".

There is more in your little corner of shame. In fact, I think after three or four more trips there, you will be shocked and ashamed at what you had missed the first several times.

I already have a feeling that there is much more to find in this spot. If I were swinging any slower I would look like a statue out there in the park. Gotta look hard to see if I am actually moving.

I keep looking for that "Dig deeper, jacka$$", button on my Tejón but all I found were knobs.

Well done, drodda, and keep it up!

Kevin,

I found that button tonight, I dug my first nail at 15 inches deep, after getting the merc and Barber almost instantly from each other I started seeing dime readings that were phantoms I think? When I woke up I was kneeling next to a large hole about 15inches deep with a bent rusty nail in my hand.


Thanks for the comments, I am having the time of my life with this new hobby.
