Detector(s) used
Minelab E-Trac - 11" Pro, 6" EQ2 coils
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
Went out for about 2 hours this afternoon to the same Elementary School lot I hit last hunt...Pickins were slim, ground was dry, and blisters were many, as I left my gloves at home.
I did manage a 1959D Silver Quarter in great shape though...Dug it from about 9 inches. The token was at 6" and the little pistol was at 8 inches...It is a gold color on the plating, and is stamped China 920??? It is a mini cap gun key chain fob (broken).
Next oldest coin was a 1960 Lincoln cent. All found with the Fisher CZ 7a Pro and 8" coil.

Well, schoolyard silver is hard to find in these parts.
As Always...Love Silver! Nice Finds!
 

Blisters you say,you ain't diggin enough,work that skin up to callouses,you won't need gloves! NICE Washington by the way!!! God Bless Chris
 

Nice hunt Gopher! Welcome to the Fisher Club! I know you man, and I'm glad to see that Fisher CZ is finding more silver (and coins) than any of those other detectors that you've had. I can't see why you'd want to hunt anywhere else after seeing what you keep finding in that school lot. Now with the CZ you can find what you've been missing all along...SILVER! That's 3 silver coins with the (new to you) Fisher, right? Good for you Dude.
 

Sweet silver !
 

Better Half is turning in my silver and gold for the year so far...About $100 worth all together...Most of that being in the 14KT two tone gold ring I found early in the year.

HH,
 

I don't remember you showing us that ring, got a picture? It's really too bad your silver coins are going to end up as scrap; but it's your stuff to do with what you want. Money is tight, so I guess I can understand why you're selling it.
 

The silver is nice, but I love that little toy keychain gun. Congratulations on all of it.
 

Did not sell the ring or silver...guy wanted to pay 16x face coin values (not bad mind you). He wanted to rob me on the ring though...tried to claim it was only plated and stone was CZ...I know better...

HH,
 

Here is a pic of the ring I mentioned...
