silver drought is over!!!

[slow sweeper]

My neighbor let me borrow his MXT this weekend. Plan on hitting an old school on Sunday. Thought I'd better use it a bit before tomorrow so I hit the old farmhouse yard. It's been detected quite heavily by me and others before me. But I've owned the property for ten years so I knew no detector of the caliber of the MXT had been used. You see I still have an old Classic III.
Place was built in 1875 and the grounds are just littered in old iron. Took me close to ten minutes before I found a place I could ground balance. Then switched the ground trac to Lock. Working in Coin and Jewelry. Finally found a zinc penny. Then got a decent signal but vid jumped between penny and quarter. Depth said 4" so down I went. Pulled the plug out and re checked the hole. Locked on quarter. Is this fun or what! Didn't even recheck the depth. carefully dug around and out popped a 1943 S Washington quarter. Yee Haa!!!
Next coin was a 1918 S wheatie. No more coins but found a very cool brass lock. Made by Corbin.
I just gotta get me an MXT. When I get batteries for the camera I'll try to post a pic. Detectors I know, computers I don't. Going to tear up the school yard tomorrow! Figuratively of course.

Slow sweeper, get some batteries for that camera so we can see some of those great finds. I love the story about finding the Quarter. There has got to be some good stuff waiting for you! Jim Cal

Sounds like you may have a good spot to hunt, Good luck on the next trip out...

Congrats! I have an MXT and I love it. It's also my 1st detector. It's not really that high end price wise, but as far as features and contols, IT'S tops!
