    Reunion Latecomers

    Got out to our spot with TF this morning. The easier targets, if you want to even call them that, are drying up quickly but still managed 3 more Barber dimes and an IH. This spot is some of the tuffest hunting I have had to do. Great learning experience too.

    Next trip back will be with the small coils. Lets hope they go deep enough to find a few more.

    Re: Reunion Latecomers

    I got a few more coins but no silver... I can find the iffy IH's but the barbers absolutly refuse to get under my coil! This is what I found today:

    1888 IH
    1895 IH
    1901 IH
    1910 wheatie
    1941 wheatie
    1889 V-Nickel
    1941 Jefferson
    thimble (I think its silver but haven cleaned it yet)

    Yea that place is some SUPER HARD DIGGIN as every single coin was an iffy signal!!! I sure hope the small coils can go deep enough too!!!

    There's about 30 of us locals and lurkers right now hard at work trying to find where they're at!
    We've talked to Homeland Security about securing cell phone transmission records for triangulation, gas station and hot dog stand reciepts in their names, etc..

    We'll be tagging their cars with GPS if/when we find them so get in line!

    I have now hired a security detail to follow us around. If you come within 50' of our locations and are acting suspiciously, you will have a black bag thrown over your head, driven to a remote location, and possibly waterboarded during interrogation. You have been warned. 8)

    Late comers or not I never complain about Barbers. They are always great finds and cherished.

    Let us know how the small coils work out. I have a Sun Ray 5.5" that I've had out a few times and am impressed with it's ability to work through the trash, but no deep finds yet. Rick
