Hey Guys,
Haven’t posted in awhile, have a two year old running around the house and now have a 3 week old baby girl also. So detecting time is pretty slim to say the least. Well having some maternity leave to take to bond with the new baby, I had some time to get out and detect this week.
Last Monday I decided to go detecting early in the morning before everybody woke up. I headed to a park that is very close to my home and is one of the oldest in the city. It has been hit hard over the years and I am a happy man when I am able to even pull a wheatie from this place. I have had a goal to pull a barber out of this park though. So even though it is hard hunting, I keep going back for more. (I must like the abuse)
Hunting the morning started off much like it normally does. Two hours had passed and I had very little to show. (Not even a wheatie to show this time) I decided to hit one other area of the park before I called it a morning. For some reason I keep coming back to this spot, even though I haven’t really found anything there before. Just had a feeling about it I guess.
About 15 minutes into hunting the area, I got a sound that I swear I was starting to think I forgot even sounded like. Digging down six inches I found on edge something I definitely didn’t expect, the long awaited Barber I had been searching for. Since the car wasn’t too far away, I decided to grab the camera. (I had decided to not carry it on me this morning, as I was starting to think it was jinxing me) Turned out to be a 1901 with no mintmark, I keep looking for an S to appear but so far it hasn’t.

After finding the barber I headed home to be around for wake up time for the kids and the wife. Everything was cool there and after spending some time at home and being on cloud 9 for meeting a goal. I decided to head out to another local spot that I had pulled a couple of rosies out of with the original SE with the slim line coil. I was curious to see how I would fare with the E-Trac and the pro coil at the same spot.
Well it turns out that the right coil can make a huge difference. With the pro coil, this location really opened up. Over the course of a few hours I pulled 5 mercs and a rosie. Bring my silver total to 7 in one day a new personal best. Well I headed home for lunch and then returned hoping to find three more silvers and get my first double digit silver day. Hunted for about 2 more hours and in the first hour I pulled a merc and another rosie. I spent the last hour searching and searching but it wasn’t to be. So I headed home with my first 9 silver day.

The next day I headed out during the kids nap time and meet up with a couple of buddies at a spot they have been working. Got lucky and pulled a nice 1912 Barber dime and a merc during a short hour or so hunt.

Didn’t dig anything else to spectacular during the rest of the week until yesterday afternoon. Once again after putting the kids down for nap time I headed out to the older part of town and pulled a merc and 4 rosies plus about 8 wheaties.

I ended the week with my personal best of 16 silvers. Well it’s back to work tomorrow, so I doubt I will have another silver week like this for a long time.
