May be small and 110 years old, but it is Silver!!!

Had to laugh when I pulled this out of the ground. Was found at an old San Rafael park. I was using my new MXT with the DD1400 coil and this kept jumping from dime to dollar. Was 7 inches down.

Turns out it is a 1897 1/4 Real, from Guatemala, is around .835 silver, around 10mm in size.... Pretty impressed that I was able to find this as I had talked to several guys that have MXT and some of them were saying that the MXT does not find Silver coins that well....

The penny is there for size reference..

Wow thats the smallest coin Ive seen.
Apperantley your MD can find silver.

I have always liked those little quartos and would be totally psyched to dig one. A friend of mine has a Mexican 1/4 real from a park here, but I've not found any of 'em.

That ranks way high on the Coolness meter. Congratulations.

Very nice find, congrats! Have never heard of an MXT having problems with silver, a friend of mine could have any detector he wants but, he uses an MXT. HH, Mike
