Semi-ket date Barber! Texas, San Fransisco, Denver & silver Canadian
First a big Thank You to Rifleman who sold me his super nice Minelab X-Terra 70 (with all three extra coils)
Hi everyone, my 1st time out this year and my 1st time X-70 user. Had a good day today. Though it's not so fortunate that my employer cut working hours back to 32hrs a week but it gave me today to get out after the thaw we just had. It was a cold start this morning, but I stuck it out and the afternoon was sunny and not too bad.
Strickly using the 10" DD coil I began in the corn field where a old house used to be and had previously dug flat buttons and one LC, today was another flat button to pocket. Then up the road to the property's owners house for a bit, mostly in the corn field but I skipped around the house and dug a wheatie. After going home for lunch I went down to the old sidewalks where I've done well before and a location that used to have a old house and the afternoon just kinda fell into place for me.
The digs: "Texas" toy cap gun, nice but I damaged it with my digger learning the pinpointing, I think the size threw me off, didn't expect a gun. A religious charm, old flat button, 1919-D wheatie, 1947 Canadian quarter, and the nice one of the bunch, a semi-key date 1892-S Barber Dime ($65 book value). And these were in hunting spots that I had already covered multiple times with my Garrett 550.
