A return trip to the old camp site produced another great hunt. The day started with 7 wheats in a row and then I got my first silver of the day a 1900 Barber dime. After the first silver it was an evenly paced day of great finds. My totals for the day were $4.13 in clad, 26 wheats, 1 1887 Indian, 1 Rosie, 5 Mercs, 1 Barber dime, 1 Barber quarter 1908-O, 1 Walking Liberty half 1944, a religious pendant and two rings (one is stamped sterling). One of the Mercs was a heart stopper a 1916 and I could see a mint mark but could not quite make it out so I headed to the van to get my loop. It turned out to be a 16-S. The other Mercs were 17-S, 27-D, 42-S and 43--S. The 17-S Merc was the first one I've found with that date and mark.

Another amazing hunt!!:wow:
Congrats on a bunch of excellent finds, including all that silver.
Sorry about the 1916, but I'm sure it got your heart pounding.
Maybe next year we could get together for a hunt.

Those are all the detectors I've owned over the years. I only have the CTX now and wish I had them all.

That's an incredible day Jeff! Now I wonder what new area you tapped into there-that's the one I was looking for! :lol:

Anyway, those are some great additions to the collection-I haven't seen many S marked mercs, and that SLQ looks to be in great shape. The rings are a bit of a surprise, I wouldn't have expected those to come from that site. :congrats:

Nice. That's a lot of silver. The early mercs are more valuable, too. That's the one thing I miss about my TRanger, which I have only been using when I need a small coil or I am having EMI issues with dog fences. I could pretty much tell the difference between clad and solid/silver coins....just noticing how you picked up a lot of clad. It's under warranty so I won't touch it, but too bad I couldn't look into doubling the processor clock and swapping out the processor (if it can't handle the new digital frequency), and making any other adjustments on an A/D or the sine generator to make sure it still spits out the 6.8 kHz at the coil, but processes the received signal correctly and quicker. :daydream:

Great finds FF43! On a related matter, I need a new set of headphones. Any reason I should not use Sun Ray Pro Gold headphones with my Etrac?

A boat load of silver Jeff! What do you mean you'd like to have your detectors back? Certain machines at specific sites might perform better than the CTX? Congrats!

Did you find all that in one day? Great finds. I am lucky to find 2 silvers a month
