Afters Thursdays three Barber day, it was gonna be hard to do that again, but I thought I would at least try. Started on Saturday with a buddy who just got
a new Garrett AT pro, I took him over to a local park and just had him follow me around and listen to targets I found first.
I wanted him to know what a penny or a dime sounded like as opposed to trash and we were able to find quite a few coins in an hour or so. After we had been
going for awhile, I got a real good 27-28 signal and told him, if this was anywhere but this pounded out park, I would say this had a good chance of being a
silver coin.
No sooner I dig the plug and plop it out, a silver rim is sticking out! Once I got it out and got it cleaned up, I saw it was a 1918 Merc! Wow, this was the first
time anyone saw me dig a silver, it was soooooo cool!
Sunday I drove an hour away to try another new town, but didn`t have any luck in three hours, other than a cool bank token, so on the way back I stopped in a little town ten minutes from home and door knocked a 1905 house, the guy said go for it, so I spent a couple hours there and after awhile, got a solid 26 signal, once I got the plug out, a silver dime surfaced, and when I cleaned it off saw "one dime" again, another Barber dime!!
Monday I got another permission and spent a couple more hours at a house built around 1910, first good target was a 1936 Buffalo! About twenty minutes
later I got a booming 31-32 and dug a big plug hoping for a silver quarter, I was right this time and very surprised when I saw it laying at the bottom of the
hole, when I sprayed it off I saw my third Barber quarter in less than two weeks, wow!!!
I don`t know how I`m finding these lately other than not being afraid to knock on doors and checking out new places.
