I Can Swing it All Day

16 Mar 2012

I was invited to go hunting with a friend at an old church where he had previously found a couple of silver coins and Indian Head pennys. I had recently purchased a Minelab X-TERRA 705 Gold Pack and I thought that it would be a good time to try it out. I got to the location and got set up. I was able to run the X-TERRA 705 with full sensitivity and was using the 10 x 5 HF coil that was stock on my X-TERRA 705 Gold Pack. I played around with it for a few minutes to get a feel for how the detector was going to act running so hot but there was no problem. I asked my friend if there was an area that he had not had a coil over and he pointed to a corner of the church grounds. I began swinging in that area and found a .22 calibur shell casing and a couple of other deep small targets. I got a solid 42 - 44 signal and knew it had to be a quarter. I dug a nice 6 inch plug and ran the pinpointer over the plug and sure enough it was in the plug. I started removing dirt and then I got the glimpse of silver!!! I called my friend over and he had a water bottle so we gently washed the dirt away from a 1892 O Barber Quarter!!
