New spot - Trifecta Nickels & such

Sorry Folks, I haven't been on TN too much lately due to the flu bug over the last week. Still getting over it, but I couldn't take it anymore. I just had to get out for some detecting yesterday. I had recently received permission to detect at this 1850's house and had visions of silver coins dancing in my head. Well, it was not to be.

I did get a few keepers. but I think someone got to the silver before me. :icon_scratch:

Not one silver coin. :'(

The soil is very soft and I was digging zinc pennies at about 6", so perhaps the silver is deeper.

Anyways, I did get a nickel trifecta at least. Here are my finds:

*TRIFECTA - 1905 "V" nickel, no date Buff, and a Jefferson.

*Wheats- 1919 , 40, 42, 45.

*An old looking silver ring stamped "Sterling".

*29mm Colonial (?) convex pewter 1-piece button w/wire shank.

*14mm "Scovill's Treble Gilt" flat cuff button w/shank. (circa 1840-1850)

*Large iron- Iron , horseshoe, & hammer head

*Porcelain door know (steel inside).

*Strange looking chain. Any ideas? :icon_scratch:

*Tiny buckle. Looks old.

Thanks for looking,
MM

Way to go Doug! I think you should rename your detector from Silver Umax to noSilver4Uman

Yeah, between being sick and it raining a bit Saturday I felt rushed. I would love to have someone with a Minelab detect it with me to see if I am: (a) truly missing the silver coins, (b) they are too deep, (c) they are not there at all.
It seems like those Minelabs know how to sniff out the silver coins, so I would like to see what happens.

When do you want me to come up there?

Ha, ha, ha. You're killing me Dude!!! :tongue3:

I am definitely in a silver slump, but that's all going to change tomorrow. :thumbsup:

I really would like to see if a Minelab could find some silver at this spot though.

I don't offer this to just anyone, but for you...... Personal detecting lessons for on $200 an hour. (cash only)

But like I said on the phone today, where there are IH's there's silver, you just have to walk over it. The reason I like swinging the Explorer and the DFX with the SEF coil is I am forced to go slooooooooow, so there's not much I miss, I just don't go a long distance.

Keep the good stuff coming.
