Hey folks,

As the title says I got my haircut yesterday. More importantly, I found a beautiful 1914-S Barber Dime today. It's in a spot I've been over 10 times and I somehow missed it cause it was in the same hole as a nail. I was tinkering with the settings on my CTX which seemed to help me find things I didn't before.

Specifically I:
-Cranked the sensitivity up to 22
-Put it on low trash
-Put it in saltwater mode
-Turned "Fast Recover" off

I'll be honest, I don't actually know what all those do but I've read enough to know that tinkering with those settings can help performance.

Here is the eye candy:

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
