Silver for the week.....

Corinth1812 · Jul 19, 2009

These are my finds for the week. I found the Barber Quarter and the three dimes on the same day. The two Washingtons, 32 and a 43 i found at the Williamson County Fairgrounds here in southern illinois. I have pounded that place to death over the last three years, but it still produces. The 32 was only one inch down, and was a recent transplant from all the work they've done there recently. Looks like it had been in gravel as its pretty rough. The 43 was about 4 inches down, dont know how i missed it before. The 1892-0 Barber quarter I found 11 inches down in the front yard of a house thats getting ready to meet a bulldozer, glad i got there before the two became aquainted. The three dimes i found in a lot in Marion Illinois that i had hunted last year with the DFX. It was very dry the last time and the signals were all kind of iffy, did get a few wheats the last time. Went over it this time with the E-trac and the signals were clear as bells 7-8" down, and picked up about 10 wheats, but the ground was a lot better. Brings my total up to a whopping 11 silver coins with the e-trac, but ive only had it for a little less than a month. Not too shaby. And ive found most of them in places i previously hunted.

I got the ace 250 last year and has done me well but I think i may get a etrac once i have the funds in place to get one. Seems like they go a little deeper than the ace. But im still researching lol.

You sly ole dog! Those are some great finds. I don't know how you pulled those quarters out of that fairground. Glad I had the chance to detect with you the other day. Hopefully some of your success will rub off on me.
