I went to a park today to detect. I've been going there and one other place every time I have a chance. I'm determined to find some jewelry with my Mojave so I set it to the "I" in iron and dig every repeatable signal. One time at this park I got a surface signal with my AT Pro and picked up a wheat. I thought it was a little weird but maybe they had turned up the ground or something. Well today gave me a little jolt to the ticker when I dug a nice clean but soft signal and out popped an 1893 Barber dime. When i was removing the dirt to see what it was I saw the wreath on the back and knew I had something good. This is my first Barber and the first silver for the year. Later I was heading back to the car and got a good signal (when I say good I mean a solid repeatable beep in both directions doing the X) I've been noticing that if I get a good signal and then dig the plug and run the coil over the plug and the signal breaks, it's usually trash. That's kind of what happened with this one but it wasn't as bad so since I had the plug out I thought I'd see what it was. I think it's some sort of silver jewelry, but I'm not sure what it could have been, I was thinking an earring but there's no post. It was bent and rolled over onto itself so I think that's why the signal broke up. Here are some pics...I love this thing!!!
