Popular Post Dan(NM) Posted January 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2022 We are in semi drought conditions here in Central Texas. I went back to the park that's been producing quite well. Today I focused on where the water would normally be under normal conditions. I ran my tone break right at 21 because the trash was almost unbearable. I may have left some nickels but I was able to pick up a few keepers. When I have more time and patience I'll go back and investigate the mid to lower tones. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB_Amateur Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 From the looks of two of those dimes, the water+soil combo is no friend to 90% silver. And obviously worse on the 95% copper as that middle Wheatie is worse than burnt toast. I'll stick with the dry land, although the ease of hunting that means I have more competition. I'm not a gold jewelry detectorist but due to gold's chemical inertness (at least until it's mixed with too much copper), not to mention its high bullion value, I realize that's what you water hunters (salt and apparently fresh) are really after, anyway. Not intending to demean your efforts, Dan. Even that toasted silver retains its bullion value, but I get more excited seeing your numismatic valued finds and except in the worst soils you've apparently got a better chance for those in the dry, as I'm sure you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick93 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 You're on the ball Dan! Finding those overlooked spots is what its about today. Way to go that silver will clean up like new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
