Well I got that first silver coin today. It's a 1892 quarter. I was using the 8" coil and the coin was about 7" deep. It read a solid VDI 74 with the MXT. I know it is a well worn coin but still it is the first silver. Rob

That not bad at all for a first silver. Most peoples first silver, including mine, is a Rosie or a Merc. An 1892 Barber quarter sure is a great first silver find! I can;t wit to see your next one!! HH!

I found it in a Chicago forest preserve woods. I was checking the bottom of a horse trail that people had used as a sled run. I found a runner from a sled. I found quite a few clad. Just off the trail I found it. Rob

NICE!!! I just picked up my first metal detector and it is an MXT. I am not far from you. Have you ever tried the I&M cannal? I thaught it would be a good place. Congrats on the silver!!! Hopefully I will be just as lucky, but I will settle for half as lucky As of right now I am starting a hotwheel car lot Are you useing the standerd coil?
