What's A Good Metal Detector To Find Silver Coins?

I have already wasted money on 2 cheap metal
detectors and find too much trash (actually had
better luck with a friends model I borrowed, he
got it from Walmart). I live in north NY state, I
know many areas where I can find alot of silver
if I can only stop digging up 99% trash!

Some of my found "treasures" are shown on

Summer is on the way and I need a good metal detector!

QUESTIONS:

1.) What's the best metal detecter for finding
silver metals? Please let me know what a good
metal detector (valued less than $1,000) that is
good for finding silver quarters, half dollars,
dollars or even jewlery.

2.) Is there a metal detector that will only detect
gold (I know this is probably the dumbest question
ever, but I am serious)? Or at least is there a
reliable model that will almost weed out all metals
except gold?

Please answer these 2 simple questions for me if you can...

Try posting on the alt.treasure.hunting group:

Oh, thanks, that's even a better place!

I was thinking that I was doing it for coin collecting purposes, my
instinct was to search for coin collecting as I was sure many coin
collectors get some coins this way. I was hoping for opinions expressed
by avid coin collectors...

I wil copy this message over to that group, thanks a bunch!

Metal detectors work by a coil generating a magnetic field that is
intercepted by every metal object. As an induced current flows in the
detected object it creates a counter field that affects the current flowing
in the coil. The process is desceribed he

There are many detectorist clubs and societies full of knowledgeable people
who can expand on this.

Copper, silver, gold and aluminum all have approximately the same electrical
conductivity and will return a stronger signal than less conductive metals
such as iron.

I don't know of any detector that will only find gold. I doubt that the laws
of physics would permit any such thing.

There's an active metal detecting forum on Coin Universe also. Here's the
link.
