Cut Spanish Silver Rockingham County Va
Dcraun replied to Dcraun's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Yes I'm very happy with V2. 90% of the time if conditions allow I run sensitive full tones, high square, offset 10, notch 07-40 , discrimination 6.8, reactivity 1.5 or 2. Those are my go to relic settings I have found these settings make it very easy to identify aluminum. A VDI of 74 that is aluminum has a hollow wind chime type of sound where as a brass button with a VDI of 74 has a solid bell sound. -
Took the D2 out to a small Confederate camp using the general program because the ground is saturated. Three tone, notch 07-40, tone break at 68. I had dug several bullets all ringing up as 82 when I got a solid 84. Out came this cut 1730's Spanish silver. you can see the beginning of a 3 for the third digit in the date

Yesterday was my 1st time detecting without the control box. I was on a very wet Virginia farm field so I went with program 1 general. Disc 6.4, 3 tone, tone break at 68, high square and notch 07-40. I found it very enjoyable to just focus on the tone and not worry about VDI numbers. This was a fairly clean field and I'm not ready to go blind in a trashy one yet. Finds include a 1860 IHC , carved bullet, 69 caliber bullet, and various other bullets and melted lead.

I don't have a picture of the other side. Unfortunately the land owner keeps everything at this site -
I found this coin on top of a hill in an area where I have found lots of relics. Both Confederate and Union items have turned up in this general area. The coin looks to be made around the mid 1800s . I would like to think it was carried by a soldier but I'll never know. The obverse side where the state, lodge# and individuals name would have been has been intentionally wiped clean the rim around the edge is still intact so I don't think it's normal wear. Maybe he was trying to hide his identity.

I think it's just cut glass it doesn't light up under a black light very bright
