I have been detecting for about four years with a White's IDX. In December of 2002 I got a new MXT and use it all the time. One weekend Mike and I were riding around and spotted an old site. We must have been detecting about ten minutes when my detector started reading a quarter. I was thinking I had found a silver quarter. I dug a hole, took my Bullseye and pinpointed the target. I then took my digger and moved a little dirt around. Then I spotted a few silver dimes so I used my fingers and moved more dirt and felt the rim of a jar.

I looked at Mike, who was across the lot from me, then looked back at the hole. I looked at him again and yelled his name. When he looked at me I said "Come here." He walked so slowly that I yelled and told him "Come here NOW!" Mike started digging the hole bigger to get the jar of silver out because I couldn't. I then started detecting again and then my detector was reading another quarter...I dug up another jar!

The first jar had $75.00 in silver dollars, quarters, half dollars, \& dimes. It also had V-nickels and Indian Head pennies. The second jar held $45.00 in pennies \& nickels.

And that was my dream come true.
