Ray Jr. (33)and I went to play a small town park from the 1880's.. Everytime we went out he'd say "today is the day for that Barber half".. That's all we needed to finish the 20th century coin folder we have.. Well this time he just said good luck, and off we went... First signal I dug with my M6 (5.3 coil) was a small high tone blip between two pieces of junk, one iron and one tab.. I popped the plug at 6" and there on the bottom of the plug a 1893 Barber half!! I yelled "big silver" and when his eyes saw the eagle his eyes about popped out!!
We continued to detect around a large tree next to the horseshoe pits.. I found a couple Indians and the a 1905 Barber dime..A little later he yelled I found a 1896 Barber quarter!! We went back for a couple hours the next day and found a pocket full of clad and handful of wheaties.. So we ended up with 5 Indian heads, 1864, 86, 93, 98, and a 1900.. Silver dimes and quarters to boot..
This is about 5 hours of detecting..
