we i went detecting at a church recreation ground yesterday. me and my fellow detectorist were pulling all kinds of clad out the ground. quaters and dimes were plentiful and pulltabs. but, this one particular target was giving me 40-44 on y exterra 305 about 5 inches down. i gotmy little digging device out and began my search on what was giving me this nice tone. got about 5 inches down and this shiny stone was starring back at me. man what a feeling. i gobble up the stone and went running across the field to my buddy that told me to go get it checked out. well, i gathered up all my devices of detection and hastley drove to kay jewelers where they put some kind of probe to it and told me it was a cubic zicronian thingy, i almost cried then i heard the "but", the setting is .925 silver... woooooohooooo my first silver.
went right back to the field and started detecting again. no more than 20 minutes and digging alot more clad my pager goes off for a dwelling fire( im a firefighter) so once again i had to gather all my devices of detection and sprinted through the field. as im sprinting to my truck to respond to the call im noticing all my finds are falling out of my bag. well now i have something easy for my kids to find... happy hunting :icon_scratch:
