[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 411383, member: 1695"] Cool fob watch despite the hole, still rare to find one intact. Don't think your technique is in question, just a fact of life that some older sites do not carry that many silver coins, mainly copper coins. Also the first series of Go-finds are also not the deepest detectors in the world, something that has been addressed on the more recently released Go-Find range (I have the GF60). Small silver coins can be hard to find at the best of times, so I wouldn't expect them to necessarily be as obvious targets as the larger copper ones. Masking can also be an issue if you have a fair bit of buried junk around the house site. I would work the site progressively, weeding out all the more obvious non-ferrous targets at first, then move onto the lesser obvious ones. Some of these targets may only give a one way response if a little out of range of the Go-Find, worthwhile digging them in case they are deeper coins. Still, I'd be happy with your result thus far, I have done a lot worse on some house sites. :) [/QUOTE]
