No sir...one of my best finds was within the last 2 weeks. 1787 period counterfeit Spanish copper coin. The crazy thing is, I have dug more large pre 1800 copper coins than I have Indian cents. My guess is that once the foreign coins finally became non-accepted currency in the U.S., they were given to kids to play with, who then all lost them in the yards, whereas the 1800s U.S. coins were in general kept better track of by all family members. Just my thoughts.
Although...yes, I would love to come home with a bucket of silver every trip

Sounds like you live in awesome area for detecting, Spanish coinage of any kind is non existent around here. I’m jealous!

Found my first silver, a 1959 Quarter (same as my birth year) with my brand spankin' new RadioShack (remember those guys?) Discovery 3300. Still got it and use it regularly. The thing is a coin magnet ('specially dimes...don't know why). It'll get a dime before any other coin. Really hits hard on 'em. BBJ

I honestly can’t remember as far as silver coin which model.
I know which found my first wheathead.
A white’s V3i.
And the second whesthead I dug using it was a 1909 model. No VDB though. Shucks. Lol
If I had to guess which model found my first silver I’d say Etrac. Not sure though.
It wouldn’t this radio shack thingy I bought back in the late 80s, I know this much.
