MY FUNNIEST COIN TO DATE

Hello y'all,
I am telling you about the coin I found with my wife a while back. My wife and I went out on a Saturday morning to a place I found in Delaware. It turned out to be a pretty good spot to detect. I started hunting it a few days and found a few pieces of silver and a great Indian head. Well Saturday we jumped out of the truck XLT;s in hand hoping to find a few more pieces of silver. I took a few steps and had a great hit of 88 on the screen 3.5 inches did a thumbs up to my wife and started digging. My lesche tool cut through the dirt like butter and out popped a nice 1954 silver 25cent piece. The day started out great and Dot started hunting even harder to find a good coin. Some time later I looked up to see where she was detecting just to make sure where she was and to see if everything was OK. She gave me the thumbs up and a shake of her coin pouch. I walked about 30 feet and had a nice hit of 85 and just knew I was going to dig another piece of silver. I called for Dot to come over so I could show her how to dig another silver coin. I told her to swing her XLT over so she could hear what a piece of silver sound like. Just kidding, she has dug her share of silver coins over the years of detecting. Dot looks at me and say you have to be the luckiest guy detecting with silvers coins. I drop to my knees and start digging 2.5 still know coin 4 inches then 5.5 inches out comes the coin covered with dirt. I took off a little bit of the dirt so I could tell what the heck kind of coin this could be and didn't have my glasses with me either. I gave my wife the coin and she cleaned it off a little better only to have a big set of boobs looking her right in the face. She started cracking up laughing saying only you would find a coin like this. She handed it back to me still on my knees busting up after seeing what I dug out of the ground. Heads I win Tails you lose, What a great day of detecting and like they say you never know what you will find next. Until next time don't stop detecting.

EAST COAST DIGGERS

As metal detecting progressed, Mike & Dorothy became interested with the hobby of finding coins and relics. After stop in to the Whites detecting website. Their primary interest was in finding coins and jewelry. However, every person knows metal detecting has an obstacle to overcome, hunting to dang-gone fast. Eventually, with their whites XLTs and some custom settings, steady swing perfected they started finding some deep coins. Each time out Mike & Dorothy discover new and different techniques detecting with the XLT. After perfecting some custom settings, this process several times he decided it was time to share them with friends and family. The custom settings are on another page on this site. Mike & Dot hope some of our custom settings will give some success to other Whites XLT users. Milford Delaware

As with most T- hunters that we meet or talk to, I find that Treasure hunting and the love of the outdoors is either a tradition in the family or a part of their up bringing. Mike & Dot are no different than the others. Growing up in the State of Pennsylvania & Delaware. Mike began Treasure hunting at the early age of 10 and recalls taking off from school one day each year to fulfill that tradition. This tradition continues today as Mike & Dottie find themself sharing this love of treasure hunting all over the the east coast.
