Neat and special recovery. Sometimes is really does pay to be lucky rather then good. Of course, being both is a winning combo. HH Jim Tn

Well, I'll say it twice! Nice find and silver is always nice. HH jim tn

Welcome! What do you enjoy hunting for? HH jim tn

Welcome! Great hobby and forum. HH jim tn

I'v been chasing old coins for 50 years this past summer and every detector I have owned over the years was a game changer in some respects. Probably, though, for me the Fisher C Z's in the early 90's upped my hunting game the most with their wonderful depth. Then along came the F 75 and it also had very good depth, but with its rapid target response reopened some old trash laden spots and opened others. And most recently, the Minelab Equinox 600 with its multi frequency feature. It also gets excellent depth and performs quite well in harsher ground. HH Jim Tn

Welcome from w Tn. I'm a die in the wool old coin hunter myself and enjoy finding jewelry and relics when they come along. Hope your shoulder gets healthy so you can get out there. HH Jim Tn

Nice find. The kind of surprises we like! HH Jim Tn

Nice hunt! Silver thimbles are always a welcome surprise. HH Jim tn

What a great looking and unique piece of silver. Looks a tad hefty, too. HH Jim Tn

Welcome to a great forum and hobby. HH Jim Tn

Very nice hunting and good hit on the cut silver and I H. HH jim tn

Welcome to the forum. This is a great hobby and the more you learn the more you will want to learn. Good luck! HH jim tn

Welcome from your neighbor to the north. Whatever detector you decide upon, one of the keys is spending good quality time with it and learning it well. I swing a Equinox 600 and have no problems recommending it. It is great hunting coins and relic's. Good luck and have fun! HH Jim Tn

Yeah, Barber halves will most certainly bring a smile to ones face. Some nice finds all around, WTG! HH jim tn

Good luck! He has a confident look of determination, to me. But, he is on your sand. HH Jim Tn

Great story!

I think an old Boy Scout camp/picnic site would be a worthy site to hunt.

That they are. HH jim tn

Hey, welcome to a fun and informative forum. Had two stints in Ind back in my working days, one in Lafayette, and the other in Evansville. Youngest son, in fact, was born in Lafayette. Good luck with your gold and silver endeavors. HH Jim Tn

This is a great hobby and its even greater with a happy and understanding spouse. Stick with your budget. Once she and you realize how much fun you are having and making a nice find here and there, if you are so inclined you can upgrade then. I have the Nox 600 and think you would be happy with a Minelab 440 or 540. Good luck, HH jim tn

Yeah, nice looking ring. I like the opal stone, too. HH jim tn

Good warp up hunt. Gold is always good. HH jim tn

Couple of nice finds. Like the Half Crown. HH jim tn

Very nice silver find. Neat design and looks hefty. HH Jim Tn
