Hunting a new spot today, when I hit a nice high tone and saw a huge silver and sparkle in the hole and thought I hit the mother lode. Biggest piece of junk jewelry I've found so far! 
On a serious note, it became clear very quickly that someone(s) had been through that area and pretty well cleared up anything that gave a signal close to silver, and left all the nickel signals behind. There was very little trash, so I figured I'd dig nickels and see if I could get lucky with a war nickel, or a Buffalo.
Came close to a war nickel with 41 and 42 Jeffersons, but no cigar. Also got a 1950 wheat for consolation. I only made it through about half the property, so I'll go back and maybe get lucky.
