Hello everyone, I'm a new member from Garland, Texas less than a mile from Garrett. I must say thanks to all who post here whom I've learned so much from and I hope to be able to contribute eventually. I started metal detecting this year, have an AT Pro with the 11", the 5x8 and the SS coil and a GTI 2500 with two sizes of imaging coils, a black and a orange Garrett carrot, root slayer digging tools and sore knees!
After 6 months trying to find silver I've come to the conclusion that Garland has been pounded pretty hard or the silver is sunk real deep and/or masked or most likely all the above.
So far this year it's been a 1941 George Washington quarter (surface find), a rosie (forgot the date) a sterling silver belt concho (16 grams), a silver ring and a small sterling James Avery marked charm, a few wheat pennies, about 50 bucks in clad and buckets of trash. I want to hunt all the time but my knees really are sore I think maybe I will take a couple days off.
