New detector finds silver ring & Merc!

I just bought a White's DFX from one of my buddies that owns a pawn shop. I wasn't planning on upgrading just yet, but he gave me a heck of a deal. He said the lady that sold it said it was never used! I bought it for $450. I messed around with it last night at his house for about 15 minutes but the battery was low so I only dug a couple targets, a button and a peice of a coke can. Today was the real test even though I didn't have much time. I took it to my parents house (which I've been over a thousand times with the Ace 250) and on my first signal I dug a toddlers sterling silver ring. On my second signal it was about 7" down and with my first coin with the DFX I found a 1931D Mercury dime. I've found other silver coins with the Ace 250 but for some reason was unable to find any at my parents house. Here are the pics:

Good deal. 8) The DFX is a beast. Great detector. Fun to hunt with too.

Great finds. I've hunted around my place here and not found anything good yet. Lot of junk from my brother who like to work on cars. Tho he was the lucky stiff. He found a merc without his detector, He just looked down walking to his car and there it was laying on the ground.

Thanks.

That 1931 murky dime would fill a gap in my folder.

Perhaps you could will it to me?

Yeah, I'll put you in my will. Do you have the 1916d? Maybe we can work up a deal

I'm definitely new to the hobby but once you learn your machine you should do better.

Sweet deal on the silver. If I found silver today I may have done the truffle shuffle.

She's a good one. Yes, that merc has escaped me too.

The new detector will be paid for really quick if you keep up that kind of hunting!!!
