Safari squeaks across the silver line - just barely

[waterfalljay]

Got out for a quick hunt yesterday morning with 4-H who was kind enough to share a house site with me. Got the first solid silver tone on the Safari (other than airtesting ) and recognized it immediately. Dug down ~ 8 inches and out popped a '64 Rosie. Looked up to show 4-H, and noticed he was walking towards me holding a coin. His was a beautiful Walker Half! These were our only silver targets of the day, and we had found them at the same time at opposite ends of the yard. I am still amazed at how deep the Safari can go, but the sounds and quirks of this machine get more familiar with each hunt. So while it looks a bit humble compared to my past finds, I'm thrilled by this 1964 dime as it is my first silver found with a new detector...
No pics of the walker - bug 4-H if you want to see it.

Hey Rob! Thanks for the encouragement.
After the long wait we had for our machines, I had 4-H order a new Excalibur 2 so I could compete with you big dogs.
We'll see how long it takes to arrive.
Hope you were able to get out these last 2 days!

Thanks Treasurehound!
Mike speaks very highly of you as well. I'd love to compare research sometime.
Hopefully we'll all get to hunt together in the cooler weather & softer ground this fall.
After that LA button mike found, I doubt he'll be bothering to post the Walker!
