Default 17 days since last Silver coin

I detected at a place where I detected before. Its was a closed down public housing area. Started getting some good signals as I hunted an area about 25' x 25' and found a few clad coins. Then I found three (3) wheat pennies, consecutively. They weren't in the same hole but within 6' of each other. After many more clad coins and maybe 45 minutes later, I got a strange signal reading 21-45 on E-Trac. But the sound was very good, like a silver coin should have sounded. It was a 1961-D Roosevelt dime! Total clad count was $1.71, three Wheat pennies, 16 copper pennies, 10 clad dimes, two clad quarters plus the Rosie.
