Went back to the site I have been hunting recently for a quick hunt. I was there for only 30 minutes and dug a couple of trash pieces, a memorial, and then got a jumpy signal near a large bush. Jumped around some from dime to quarter and changing numeric display. I decided to go for it and what did I find? A root about 4 inches thick. Of course now that I have moved some dirt I have a solid signal directly under this root. Dig both sides and push the dirt from under the root. Check my pile and there is the signal. Start sweeping handfuls of dirt in front of the coil and got it in first try. Found a little coin and wipe it off and it says "One Dime". I finally got another Barber. A 1906D. She has a little discoloration but she is Silver! I called it a day right there and went home for supper. Happy Hunting All!!!

Next time just hook the tree up to the bumper of your truck and pull the whole thing up. There may be more hiding there.

I love getting signals under roots. It makes me super excited!

The root signals have been good to me here. Have pulled a few like that.

I would try something like that but the nearest tree was like 30 feet away. It would have been a tough job.
Good Luck All!!
