Hy guys
I went out yesterday and had one of those days. I hunted my classmates 1914 house. Although i was excited i wasnt thinking anything besides maybe some rosies or mercs would show up. First good signal was a 1943 merc. I then moved to the center of the yard and got a fluxuating quarter dime hit. Got a 1917 merc with a wheatie stuck to hit. As i rechecked the plug i was rewarded with a nice silver washington. One of my better coin spills.
I thne moved on and got a pocket knife and a sex token. ANy info on this would be cool (age, releavance).
I moved alittle closer to the house and got a solid quarter/half signal. I dug a plug about 4 inches and tje target was still in the hole. I moved some dirt with the trowl and saw the nice rim of silver in the bottom, about 6 inches down. Hell yea my first barber half 1899. ANd i scratched the hell out of it with the trowl. I normally use a shovel to avoid this, but since it was a private yard i wanted to be neater, damn though, coin WAS in nice shape to.
I ended the day getting this neat badge thing. Its says "bridge dedication" HArtford CT 1908 oct 6,7,8. I found out it was for the dedication of the now Buckley bridge when it was completed in 1908.
Thanks for lookin
Keith

Keith, love the old pocket spill...bummer about the half though, oh well, like you said, it is what it is.

Any news on the sex token?
And... by the way, is that a Cheshire house you found all that at??

Too bad about the scratch--but I agree with you. Always use a trowel in ANY area where the grass is taken care of.

You just need to use a trowel more, and do more yards, in order to practice accurate pinpointing.


Do you "detune" to cut down the size of the target in pinpoint mode? That technique may be helpful for you.



Congrats on the big Barber.
