Hello everyone, Back in April of 2020 I purchased my newest Metal Detector.. The AV Minelab Vanquish 440 I didn't know how good it was going to work for me. I can say that I am extremely pleased with it! Here was my intro thread - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/metal-detector-3-vanquish-440-av-minelab.358560/ Today I want to share a Silver Coins update of all the Silver coins I have found to date. Mostly US Coins with 2 Foreign finds. 52 Each - Winged Liberty Head Dimes 25 Each - Silver Roosevelt Dimes 8 Each - Barber Dimes 11 Each - Silver Washington Quarters 4 Each - Standing Liberty Quarters 6 Each - Silver Jefferson War Nickels 1 Each - Walking Liberty Half 2 Each - Canada and British Silver Coins 96 - Silver coins in 2020 14 - Silver Coins to date in 2021 110 Total Container for just Dimes and Quarters - Album for SLQ's, Barbers, Half and Nickels - Note* - The Seated Dime was actually found with the CTX 3030 not the Vanquish
Outstanding Bunny Foo Foo !! That's why the wife gets one with her Income check, if we get one . Always a joy to see another person'a finds .
I would think that NYC would be out of money in the ground by now. You sure have hauled it in. Congrats on your finds and the enjoyment that goes with it.
About how deep do you find the silver? I would dig deeper here, except that the ground is full of clay and hard. I would have a hole about the size of a basketball.
Average 6 to 8 inches.. A few not as deep. The Walker half was about 3 inches deep. I have dozens of threads showing the finds. Some with YouTube videos
The deepest I personally have dug is 9 inches . It's not the depth that matters . Case in point, I found two( 1753/1754 KG coppers at 2 inches in rocky ground .
@paddyman98 - Wonderful. So exciting. I never got to use my license. :-( I don't want to go out detecting alone. No clubs or others I could find in my area to go with. I wish you guys would come out my way sometime.
I think you should have reported that recent watch find as a "fossil". Finding a fossil with a metal detector "priceless".
License , What License ? No need for license here in Connecticut or MA that I know of . What's going on .
Some states require a license to metal detect. They also have rules and regulations that must be followed or you can pay a fine and have your license suspended. Every state is different.
I would , like Collecting Nut said, check with your own State officials . Just because it's legal here in CT. in the "State Forests" , doesn't mean it's legal everywhere . First rule : Get permission from land owner .
I know for a fact that Connecticut is legal in the state forests only . Not the Yale forest however . Only preps live there .
I think the licensing applies to state and local property such as parks. They want people to respect the property and leave it as they found it.
Oh yea, some parks that are deemed a historical location are also off limits. That's why I go respectfully door to door . Just act and dress nice enough . The older the owner the better sometimes . The younger ones don't want to be bothered . I met a 105 year old lady who wanted to walk school site she went to in 1905 , this was in 2010 . It wasn't her land but she gave me permission anyways . LOL
I'm pretty sure that if you paid the extortion fee and defaced public property you would and should get a fine, so why the fee? Let people be free and if they deface a park then make them pay. Don't pre charge people on the assumption they'll be guilty. Government fees are exclusionary and only allow those with the means to participate.
