I am still stunned ! Found the dime 2 minutes after I turned on the Etrac. The Barber half was found about 20 feet from where I found the Barber quarter about a month ago...this is the same yard I found a mercury dime, 42 Washington and 1935-D Walking Liberty half as well as 3 IH's! I am very happy today!

And here are the better finds minus the several Wheat pennies.

Beauty! 2 halves out of a yard is a VERY good yard indeed. Hunt that place hard!

That is Stunning!! Seems like the metal detectors addage still holds true, swing low and slow. And I would add grid carefully, come at the yard from different angles as this is a producing yard. Do you have any thoughts as to why the yard is producing so well? Congratulations on another great find..............63bkpkr

I think probably kids long ago dropping coins, it's a really small yard too. I have been moving VERY slow and covering in all directions. It is the 7th time hunting there too. I think maybe in times past (and before the Etrac)I have hit a yard usually only once. I think I have just been searching thoroughly and slowly.

Now that's a nice honey hole you have. Keep hammering on it, there has to be more silver there for you to dig up.
