In what felt like ages (Over a month), I finally made it out this Saturday. Joined up with Tom to hit a small section of a park that we've detected at numerous times. I wanted to come back home with at least a Rosie, and I had faith in an area that had produced them in the past. This place seemed to have dried out completely until the day I went there and found that first SLQ. I went back on a latter day last year and found a Rosie that marked the 50th silver coin of the year. Tom was there a few weeks back and took home a merc.
I was there for almost two hours with some clad in the bag when a shallow dime signal came through to bring out the barber dime (2 1/2 to 3"). I was greeted by the "One Dime" and immediately recognized it as a barber. I wasn't expecting it and Tom was in disbelief. Out of 5 1/2 to 6" and some zig-zag roots came the merc. Icing to the cake and as a bonus, a fairly shallow Rosie at about 3 to 3 1/2".
Incredible day for this park.......lots of work and extremely tight coil sweeping. Lots of penny signal digging. Anything that made a brief jump into the dime range would get dug. All three dimes did not make their textbook tell tale position well off the screen. They were the 1/2 way out of the window clad dime signals. Still sore from that day......something that would not be the case with the conditioning I had developed with that heavy machine. Photos enclosed.
