Jr and I went out to the small town park for a few hours to play.. Digging the iffies didn't net anything but trash.. I was talking to Jr and heard a tiny high blip.. It sounded like can shreds in close proximity to each other, but the vdi would read a 12/46 and then jump around again..I figured since it was at 6" we would dig it.. Ray turned over the plug and there was there a speck of silver covered in dirt.. "I bet its a a barber" I said. he ran to the faucet and rinsed the dirt.. I swung the hole again and there was another almost nonexistent blip at 5".. Ray came back and said barber, and then I pinpointed the other standing straight up on end in the side of the hole.. Another !! Check the little blips... A twofer one hole...

Holy shnikes! Two Barbers in a hole, and in great shape too. I would love to find a Barber again soon.

Way to go checking out those iffy signals. The vast majority of my good finds begin as iffy signals these days, not as many solid signals it seems.
