NCtoad Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 So last evening after work I decided to hit a site where some old mill houses once stood. I’ve pounded this place with the nox getting maybe 5 or 6 silver coins, a silver ring and I don’t know how many wheats. I hit this place a couple of times with the D2 back when it was fairly new to me (the D2). Yesterday I went there and decided to use Rattlehead’s silver slayer program. It’s based on the Fast program but with a lot of notching and the sensitivity at 97. In about 10 minutes I had 2 wheaties about 6” apart then within another few minutes I got a 1945 merc about 8” down. I ended up with 3 wheats and the merc. Tonight I went to the same place again. This time 5 wheaties, 1 copper memorial, and a 1922 King George V Half Crown which after I looked it up I found out it’s 50% silver! It’s about the size of a US half dollar. How I missed it before I don’t know. I have gridded that area in the past but there’s lots of iron, coal, ash and other trash from when they demolished the old houses. A 50% silver coin, especially one slightly larger than a half dollar counts as a silver in my book and makes 36 for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Go NCtoad! 👍 Looks like you're really getting good with the D2. Do the partial silver coins still hit the 90s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the partial silver coins still hit the 90s? Yep, 97, 98, 99. It was only about 3” or 4” deep. When I got it out I thought it was some kind of silver plated coin and most of the plating had worn off. In the area where I found it the soil is really black and ashy ( is that a word? Lol) looking like there been a big burn pile there in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets ya skip Zincolns. 😀 That's an odd coin to find. Very cool, and not bad shape. Takes a big hole in the pocket to lose one like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
