It's hard enough to find just one silver quarter, but I found 3 silver quarters that were all minted in 1951, the year that I was born. 1951 was a great year!
It was misting rain early this morning while I was driving deep into the jungle to do some serious metal detecting. I wanted to start out with my Omega V6, but the first site that I tried had a little too much EMI, so I pulled out the MXT Pro instead. I really needed a smaller search coil on the MXT Pro, but the larger 950 did amazingly well picking through the trash. It found me a 925 silver ring, a old Mercury dime, and a Rosie dime before leaving for a new site.
At the next site I pulled out the Omega V6 with the stock 10 inch elliptical concentric search attached and it didn't chatter at all even at full sensitivity. It's one of the best and most fun detectors for coin shooting ever made. It LOVES silver and handles iron well. Before calling it a day, the Omega found me 3 silver quarters and Rosie dime. I used zero discrimination, full sensitivity and 4 audio tones. It ground balanced at 60 and then I reduced it manually to 55.
The weather ended up being just perfect today. Calm winds and around 45 degrees. The ground was a little muddy though from a recent rain. LOL
