Went to a park from 1912 today and scored my 21st Barber dime of the year (1912 D). Then I found a gold ring, bet you heard this before but she looked really good coming out of the hole, it's ordinary bling. I think the best thing about my At Pro is it's washable. After getting caked in mud me it and all the diggers and pin pointers were covered in MUD.
Thanks for looking I hope you score at least one more silver before winter

Congrats. You have been hitting it all year long. 21 Barbers is really nice.

My first silver was a Barber dime.... I have found 47 silver coins since then, but no more Barbers. GL&HH!

Work on picking out the deeper signals, learn full sensitivity. You got the right tools use them. Also if your finding newer silver them the older stuff has to be there. My problem is I usually only find the older stuff because it's been picked over.

I sure would love to dig a barber dime to go with my barber quarter! I really love the design of these coins. Congratulations! And speaking of mud, has anyone found an effective way to keep mud out of the two tiny speaker slots on the garrett propointer? It seems like every time I go hunting in damp ground, that mud gets everywhere! Maybe I'm just messy!

You could tape it off, I use a rubber glove
