Under That Fresh Skiff Of Snow Was Some Silver Bling And Lots Of Ka-Ching

John-Edmonton · Apr 12, 2014

Woke up early this am to find a new skiff of fresh fallen snow.....maybe 1/2". The temp was cold....below freezing with a brisk cold north wind. Not a problem said I. :laughing7:

I gathered my AT Pro and other tools of the trade, and headed out detecting later in the day. The finds shown are from my last 2 hunts including today. Lots of coins and many of them pennies. That reading in the 80's could of been a silver ring, but not today.

Although no rings showed up today under my 9" x 12" concentric coil, I did manage get a nice bracelet with some mother of pearl inlay and stamped MEXICO. From what I read, Mexico silver is is 95% pure silver and 5 per cent copper or other metals. In my books, silver is silver be it jewelry, coins or bars. I did hunt some woods today, and that's where I dug up that live ammo.

I dug a total of 7 tokens today. Unfortunately, I have multiples of each. If anyone wants to do a trade, let me know. I have hundreds of those SEX tokens I would gladly part with.

Nice finds John! You seem to attract the birds quite in proximity to you. I guess when someone tells "you" that metal detecting is for the birds, you can say.."yes it is"!

Great finds John I had a clad day today I went to a local park and detected with two others and they both want an at pro now. I had the 5x8 coil on and was finding clad like crazy might of been I was in a better spot than them but I went over the same area they did because they asked me to and pulled out coins they left behind. Not sure if they don't know their machines or they were set up wrong. Not sure I've never used those types before. They were name brand and a very popular brand around here and one of them was not cheap. That's all I'm going to say. Good luck everyone.
