After over 600 clad and zinc coins and who knows how many screw caps, bottle caps, pull tabs, small parts of iron, and what ever, finally some silver. It was a very hot day but also very good one. Two 43s and a 64.
600 clad for that amount of oldies ? Sshheesk, you have more patience than I do. I would have switched to somewhere where the ratios weren't quite so punishing
You've been detecting a long time, Tom. Think about how it would be to get started today and how much of a challenge it is to find public silver. Heck, I'd like to think I can find silver if it's in the ground, and I went to three public spots today with heavy pre-1965 activity and couldn't even find a wheat penny. (To your point, this is why I spend most of my time on private permissions.)
It's not easy to find deep silver if you've never even found the shallow kind. That's another way of saying: success breeds success....but not until you have success.
They say that you have to dig at least 1000 zinc pennies for every silver Roosevelt dime so I'd say you're beating the average. You got skills!

So far my clad-to-silver ratio is 690:0. I'm still looking for my first silver coin.600 clad for that amount of oldies ? you have more patience than I do. I would have switched to somewhere where the ratios weren't quite so punishing
