Sometimes it doesn't have to be shiny to be silver!

[silverfreak]

No pics of my wife and Hercules today, as it was tool cold for them, and they stayed in the vehicle most of the time.
This hunt is from another of my old faithful sites that have been kind to me over the last 30 years.
Sometimes I can wander around here for 5 hours, and not even get a signal. They are few and far between anymore, but the chance is always there....and they coins are always OLD when they do pop out!
Everything here is deep, everything is old, and I assume because of a heavy concentration of fertilizer over the years... the silver comes out with a cool, coal black tarnish to it. We've pulled over 30 seated coins from here over the years, and a ton of Barbers.
The indians almost always come out janky and crusty...but still a blast to find.
All of these today were 8"+ deep.
Two of the indians were at 8", one was at 9", and the sweet old black Barber was at a measured 10" deep.
Thanks for looking.

Congrats on the old coin finds!

Thanks, friend.

Never used a CTX buddy, but I've taken this Nox 600 to a park I've hunted at least 300 times, (many others have lots of hours on this park as well), and I've popped out a couple of Barber dimes, both in holes right next to nails, 9 Indians, a 45-S War nickel and 32 wheats- simply can't believe I missed all that, and I've found 5 more silver coins and additional old nickels and pennies at a couple of other parks near Boston that I thought I might have cleaned out- As a devout SE Pro user, I don't impress easily, but I'm very impressed with this machine. Plus, as 60 approaches, this machine is so light I can hunt for a full day instead of being beaten up by my SE after just a few hours. Happy Thanksgiving my friend!

I fully understand the SE getting very heavy after a few hours. If I didn't have the ctx to go to for a lighter machine, I would definitely think about the nox. In fact...I might give one a whirl anyway. Thanks for your input on the nox, my friend.

Nice job on the old coins Silverfreak. I like the Gray toning on that Barber. I have found some like that, and put them right into my album that way. Don't like to shine them up, I like to remember them the way they came out of the ground.

Thanks, friend. Me too. Other than a warm water rinse to get the dirt off, I like 'em with the original patina and tone.
