Glad my plan B failed, Plan C took me to the barber!!

Hey guys, had nite shift last night and decided on some dig therapy this morning after work. My original plan was head to the new cornfield that I got permission to hunt the other day and door knock along the way. The cornfield was my backup if I didn't get permission elsewhere, well the two doors I knocked were duds, no one home, so off to the cornfield I went, I turned the iron audio on and only discrimination at 20, my atpro barely made a peep as I did a permiter grid, zero, zilch, nada, no targets to be found. Well after about an hour of nothing I decided to head right down the road to the house I scored my first and only barbers and seated last week. I started gridding the front yard again where I scored all my Indians and silvers last time to see what I missed, well very close to the same exact spot of my little barber/seated spill I got that awesome 88-94 faint high tone at 10+, ya know im digging that! (still confused why they ring in such high #s there) dig a nice deep plug and pow! 1911 barber dime, my 3rd barber in 2 weeks, 2 years with none and now 3 in 2 wks!, talk about luck, man this hobby never ceases to amaze me! I dug some trash and got a nice mid 70s tone that occasionally popped to 81ish so I figured id let you guys hear what im hearing as I get ready to dig. I was figuring indian on that. I didn't capture any of the iron audio in this clip but that's ok, anyhow that target ended up being some sort of copper lid to something, nothing exciting, a little later I managed 2 clad coins and a bit more junk before calling it a day, I cant believe the luck im having lately, silver #19 and 4 consecutive hunts with silver! On the way home I stopped at 2 more places and got an easy permission for Thursday cause he was cutting the grass today and I got half permission at another place, this guy had to ask his sister who is co owner, looks very promising!! enjoy the vid, thanks for looking and HH!!

I know nothing about ground balance, all I know is I hold the button, bounce up and down til it shuts up, usually stops around 82-83 depending on where im at. Im sure im not reaping the full benefits of ground balance, but thats all I know for now lol

I'm pretty much the same way. The machine has been doing fine. It doesn't need me trying to make it "better".
As long as I remember to check it from time to time in a field, I'm fine. It can change ya know.

I usually try to ground balance it again after a little while. The only problem I have in fields is finding a place with no iron. Supposedly you don't want to balance over iron.

Holy smokes that's a beauty! I swear Barbers are so soft they seem to wear a little sitting in a coin sleeve.

Nice Barber, super detail, congrats.......but I have to say that I had to turn my head away when you started rubbing the reverse looking for a mint mark.........and you can clearly see the harsh scratches as a result.....

In the future try to wait until you get home to get some water on it, it waited 100 years to get clean, it can wait a few more minutes until you get home........

HH all!
