Worn barber, mangled merc, wheat cent, and more

Larbear2

Well-known member
I went back to the sports field where i had found the buff nickel a few weeks back. Targets are very sparse throughout the field but in the area where i had found the nickel I found a worn 1902 barber dime, a mangled mercury dime (shot with a firearm is my guess), and a 1942 wheat penny. I was using the Legend, M3 freq., 24 sensitivity, park mode, G tab. After leaving the field, I went down the street to an elementary school and searched some grassy areas which resulted in several clad quarters and clad dimes and pennies. I was using the Fisher F70 while searching the elementary school because the battery was getting low on the Legend. Before leaving the school I gave the bark area under the playground equipment a quick sweep. I got a foil signal (22,23) on the F70, kicked aside some bark and recovered a ring that is marked 10kt. So 2 silver coins, some clad (2.72) and a gold ring. My best day in quite some time, GL&HH!

That Barber dime alone makes a good day detecting in my world, the other items are a bonus.
Just three years from the turn of the century, that's getting back there.
In 1902 there wasn't any airplanes flying around, no highways, no cars, completely different world back then.
