My first silver with my new AT-Pro

icemncmth · Nov 13, 2015

Searched my backyard yesterday and I found my first silver with my new rig. I had searched my backyard before but it is full of trash. The people who lived there before me had a shop in the back and he was a welder so there is a lot of trash in the ground.

Exceptional find! The dimes to! Very cool. I would say there other coins masked in the yard

The dimes were pretty close together. Basically they were where the old clothes line was.

Around 8" in a big wad of Oklahoma Red Clay.

Wow that is great, did you check for mint marks, could we get pix of the reverses?
I'd love to find a Morgan, yours is in fabulous shape. Did you wash them?

Awesome! Still looking for mine. Maybe I should search MY yard

??

My very first signal with my ATP was a 1917 Merc in my back yard. It took me two months before I turned up a Morgan. The ATPs really have a nose for the good stuff.

Yes it was. Since I had pulled up a big wad of red clay I figured it was just another hunk of junk. I used my Pro-Pointer AT and that really helped because otherwise I may have just tossed it to the side. Once I started pulling apart the clay I finally found the dollar and it was really cool to open up the clay and see the silver looking at me!! The dimes were pretty much together or about 2" apart. They were also a shock. I have searched the yard with my coinmaster with the prism mini DD on it and really never ran across these coins. Now I'll be fair and say I really hadn't looked very hard in my backyard.

All I did was squirt them with a water bottle. No rubbing. Here is a pic of the back of the dollar.

Yes it really does! I was at a local lake just messing around with my girlfriend and her daugher. I was walking a flood area where there is a bunch of junk that gets washed up. Cans...boat parts...etc. Anyway I was just messing around found a few led weights..then a good solid tone with some off sounds. I took out my Pro-pointer and it was going crazy. Found a newer quarter about a 1/2" from the surface with cans all around it. I'm using the stock coil and can't wait till I can get a Nel Sharpshooter or the 5x8 Garrett. Can't decided which one I'll get yet.
