Dance hall in the woods

[mcmich]

Hit some old spots with the Equinox. I like this thing, picks through the trash. This spot was used for 50 years as a park-dance hall. It had been hit hard over the years. Found a couple of barbers, these barely registered. Wheats everywhere, tired of digging them could have many more. The barber dime is a 1913 S 510 k minted.

Sounds like a good spot. Lots of potential.

nice finds! way to go on pulling a couple of barbers out of a combed over spot. those are some sweet finds! were there a lot of nickel signals that you passed over? that's how it is at the spot I've been working on. I'm usually not a cherry picker, but the place is loaded with pull tabs and I end up passing them up. anyway, congrats on a good hunt!

Definitively not a pro, lol. Mostly luck. Both those barbers came from the same hole. One thing I have learned is go SLOW and only dig deep targets. Everything else is usually junk or clad. Went out the day after and found a merc and a rosie. Went out today and got skunked except for some wheates, Listen for the squeaks instead of looking at the numbers. Took some years to learn that.

Bringing this post back to life So I have vacation to burn so I have been getting back out, enjoying the time in the woods. Min bugs and nice colors. Not a bad day! Standing liberty, silver nickel, buff, rosie and or 8 or so wheats. Still have more vacation to use, will be getting back out, hopefully after a good rain. Typically I do not get into programming the detector. I will give it a whirl as this place is loaded with pull tabs. Plan to concentrate on the low VDIs.

Nice! Looks like a crisp stander, war nick and rosie date on the buffalo?

The Buffalo is 1935, kind of toasty. I have been ignoring that range, will give it a try next time out.
