I've been waiting on some rain since my last hunt, but it never came. Today it was cloudy, windy and had a 50% chance of rain. I decided I couldn't wait anymore, I needed a silver fix.
I decided to detect the yard that was next to the one that I last detected. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/tesoro/465904-tesoro-outlaw-rampage.html I had high hopes since I found plenty of silver in the yard next door.
Right off the bat I found a silver quarter. That got me fired up. The next silver coin that I found was so black and dirty that I thought that it was a clad coin at first. After a closer look I realized it was a silver coin.
Then I found what I thought was a junk ring. It was all tarnished so I threw it into my pouch.
The next silver that I got was a mercury dime and it to was also all blacken and tarnished. That made me take a closer look at the ring again. It turns out to be silver, not a junker as I first thought.
This is the first time ever that I've run into blacken coins like this. Most coins that I find come out of the ground as clean as can be. The coins that I found around 40 feet away next door were all bright and shiny. I wonder what the deal is?
Oh yeah, my setting were: discrimination just above iron, a little negative on the ground balance and full sensitivity and I also found 12 wheat pennies.
