Thanks so much for all the replies
...I'm still in a state of shock.
When my head phones nearly blasted my eardrums as I was swinging, I went back to the same spot and man the dinging, I went from all metal to coin...it showed silver in every position. I started digging and man they have hard dirt in Kansas, after not finding it at first, Stoney was in the area and I shouted for him to bring a shovel, no shovel was needed, he just flipped the soil a little and when I saw silver, I thought I flipped. Stoney looked and told me what it was...then I said "does that mean I can do the happy dance?" Well, the whooping & hollering may have been a Rebel Yell heard from one end of the field to the other and again from one end of the state to the other.
and the dance may have been an Indian dance. But, hey I'm pumped now.
Just reading all these replies, I'm really surprised about the SLQ...no clue they are so few & far in between. (Is that the right, or is it the opposite
)
I'm still baffled to how my Ace 250 found this when there were more experienced hunters with better MDs than mine out there with me. Just pure luck, being in the right place at the right time. The finding of my 1st silver will always be special to me cause there were 35+ T-Netters hunting the CTH.
Thank goodness I was not on video, I believe I would had been a laughing stock
But, after finding rusty, crusty iron and clad all these years, now that I know what the sweet sound of silver sounds like, I can't wait to find more.
I will post a close up later...like I said you need a magnifying glass to make out the "20" the "19" is rubbed off.
