Hot Day Finds

I don't have many opportunities to go out so went out this morning and made the most of it. Started at 7:30 at a church I had received permission to search and finished at noon...whew! I thought I had a good chance of older silver but the site was a bust. I did find a 1930-S Wheatie and the following:

8-$0.25
3-$0.05
1-$0.10
10-$0.01 Copper Memorials
21-$0.01 Zincolns (10 in one Hole)
1 Bullet (in the front of a Church)
Chewed up gold pen...plated
1 Yale lock
1 early Matchbox Car
1 #43 Richard Petty Matchbox Car Modern.

I continue to have doubts on the MXT's stock coil to locate deep silver so I am 100% certain of upgrading the coil.

Sounds like you cleared off the surface stuff. Go back around the old trees and go slower and really overlap your strokes. I'm assuming it's an older church. Pick the most likely place for silver coins and keep working that area.
We have a member, i won't mention his name (DH) he stays in a small 30X30 area and digs every target and always comes up with silver. He tells me I flitter around and swing too fast...maybe i should slow down Smile

Dido on what Joe said:

Charlie said it, go back over the same area now that you cleaned it up. As for your coil and the depth, it takes some time to learn your machine, a 100 hours or more in the field. Don't give up, keep at it. Joe can help with questions, he's good.
