Detector(s) used
Minelab E-Trac & Ace 250
Diane has just started to do some metal detecting with me and this was only the fourth time she has gotten out to hunt. She is using my old Ace 250 while I am using a Minelab E-Trac now. Diane and I got back from Church today had some lunch and then decided to go out and do a little hunting. We went to an old park that I had not been to with the E-Trac so I was hoping to find some goodies. We had not been there too long when I heard Diane say I think I found something she came walking over to me and said as she handed me her find It may be a token or a Canadian coin. Well it was more than that for on just her fourth hunt she broke into the silver club not with a Rosey or even a Merc but she did it up right with a 1908 Barber Dime! When I told her what it was she just broke out in a big grin, and how that girl can smile! So being the clever detector that I am, I decide to go over in the area she had been hunting I was quickly rewarded with a wheatie, nice and green turned out to be a 1919 S. About 10 feet from that I got a good signal that first read 08-46 then as I turned a bit it got more solid 06-47 and I dug what was a beautiful 1912 D Barber Half! I finished up with three wheaties 1944, 1920, 1919-S and the half, Diane had the dime and we both had a great time. I had been told before by some old timers that this park was hunted outwell it may have been hunted out but not by an E-Trac I guess or even an Ace 250!

Very cool! She did'nt pick up on the signals that you recieved on those coins? Just wondering. The Ace is a pretty good detector
 
Thanks for the video! It's very cool you two enjoy the hobby together...Congrats!
 
Wow! Wow! Wow! Super Half!

That's an idea! Take the spouse WITH you!!! That might just save some marriages! (and destroy a few in the process!)

Seriously...very cool that you two hunt together!

No she found the Barber dime on her own, she said it gave her a good dime signal. She was not next to me when I dug the half.
 
Cool finds. Congrats. Great detail on the half.
