Mr. Barber's Neighborhood - 1899
So... I haven't found anything significant for a couple of weeks and I told myself that I had to find something today, to keep the momentum going before winter. I was hunting at a very old park in Pittsburgh, PA where I found a beautiful Walking Liberty Half Dollar earlier this year. This quarter was about 15 feet from where I found the half dollar, only it was about 6 inches deep and under a couple of layers of large rocks. I almost didn't dig it because this is one of those areas where you have to ground balance your detector every 5 feet, because of the amount of slag in the soil. It's the second Barber Quarter that I have found this year, but I have to say, the other one is from 1906 and is in excellent condition. I am kind of getting spoiled, I think, because I don't appreciate my findings as much as I used too... now I just want more and more... kind of feeling insatiable. I do believe that the Fisher F4 that I have is limiting my abilities at the moment, however, it's all that I can afford for now. I am really not a fan of the 11" DD coil that was included with my detector, and I would have to say that the overall quality of the machine is not as high as other brands. The push-in style connector for the coil to the detector is very frustrating and tends to unplug itself from time to time. That's all that I have to say for now... Good luck everyone.
