silver

The snow is back 😐 Wile playing with my finds I gathered up the halves I have found and decided to post them. Though I have not found a silver dollar I have been blessed to pick up at least one half every year I have hunted . The painted one was my first and was found in a money clip. I did...

In the thread titled "Cleaning copper - If you want to" http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=256868 I showed how sodium thiosulfate, a common chemical used in B&W photography, spa treatments, and medicine, reversed the black tarnish on pennies, though not the green corrosion...

It was my best year by far … but, it was also my first year! :laughing: I only looked through loose halves because my Credit Union doesn’t carry rolls. :( I’m still happy with the 5 Silver I ended up with though! :D A 1952, 1957, 1961-D, 1964, and a 40% Silver 1969-D. Nothing good in my Dime...

Went out on some errands last week and stopped to do some CRHing. I asked for all their half & dollar coins as well as $3 in Pennies, $2 in Nickels, & $5 in Dimes. They had 14 half dollars and 2 dollar coins. I was delighted to see the silver rim on a few of the halves they handed me! :woot: I...

Well, I was out visiting my in-laws in NJ and decided to nail a park near their house that I frequent in the early morning before anyone gets up; the park I was told has been nailed for years and there's not much to be found other than clad, which is very true. Regardless, last year I hit a 42'...

Hello all, Just got my first hunt in of 2017. Had a little break in the action here at flight school so i decided to hit the dirt and see what i could find. I was using @tnsharpshooter 's advice with my set up. I started by making a new program with the XP Deus with the following perimeters i...

Hello Forum! Wow, "RINGING" in the new year with, well... Lots of RINGS! We must of found more than 6 vintage silver and 1 gold ring on these hunts. Lil Rosie is back and finds an AMAZING find at a 1890 permission site. She recovered a WW1 Great War token and then recovers a Civil War Naval...

I went to the volleyball court in the park Monday morning about 8 months ago and just six feet into the search got a solid signal and found this ring. I thought it was a gold ring with diamonds. But it was an 8 gram gold plated .925 ring. The top was cut/engraved in the silver to look like lots...

Howdy, Let preface this post with an I love this detector!!!!! This is the first one that I have really clicked with, and it just finds all of the coins. Especially '65 quarters and dimes, and pre '64 pennies and nickels.....grrrrr :laughing: My one question is this "silver" sound I've read...

I found this at a thrift store today, and am hoping it is silver. It is not magnetic, is heavier than aluminum would be, and has a "G" on the back. The G also almost seems to be engraved by hand with a fine tool. Does anyone recognize it? Thanks for any help

I've detected my yard several times. Every spring when the ground is moist I turn up the sensitivity and hit it slow and different angles. I begun to dig any nonferrous target that so much as bleeps once. Also dig large iron and begun to see if it is masking any good targets. Put on the big DD...

Hello friends. Found this little guy a few inches deep near an old homestead site in Philadelphia. This is what I have after a minor cleanup. My two friends couldn't believe it- it was in such good shape I asked if they'd planted it, but they swear they weren't involved. All amazement about the...

Ordered a new Whites Treasure Pro last Thursday. First new detector, all the others were used. Picked it up at FedEx early this morning. Put it together and hit a local park. Trying to get used to the signals and tones, I didn't expect much. I do like the tones on this detector. After about an...

Ok I have raised this topic more than once, but now I have acid for testing silver. So I thought I would ask the pros for a bit of help in learning how to read my results. Here is a nugget I picked up that most assume is junk. I ground a spot clean on my bench grinder revealing a shiny clean...

I thought I might start a new thread to show off some of the better things I have come across. I am still brand new at metal detecting, thought i have had some good advise and done my best to use it well. I just started into this hobby in Sept. and thanks to some good advise I got a Fisher F2...

I was out for my very last hunting trip my Roman hunting buddy Marcus in a large wheat field, trying to find some additional 4th century Roman bronze coins. I had found about 40 in this one area of a wheat field three months prior, and now I wanted to see if any where left. I did not find any...

Was visiting family in Northern New Jersey for the 4th and since they all tend to sleep in I decided to go MD early yesterday morning - taking a chance, I hit an old baseball field in clearly an old established neighborhood - I had never MD'd anywhere in NJ prior. Within 5 minutes I was banging...
