I got excited and pushed 'post' too soon. Found this 1904 Barber Half while working out of town. This is a site where I've found many Indian Heads and V nickels. The half was only 4" deep, but right next to a steel tube fence. The toy race car was almost a foot deep. A local detectorist came by and said he's been working this spot with a Minelab, along with other detectorist a in his club, and found a 1964 dime near the sidewalk. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I've been killing it at this site for some time now. I'll post my other finds when I get back home. By the way, the half is not an S mint, just Plain. Thanks for looking.

Great finds!!! What a beautiful coin - Whites' detectors are simply the best out there! I have similar stories of detecting behind other models and it seems like the area has never seen a metal detector before. I even follow behind other detectorists and they get to watch me dig lots of targets in ground they have already searched. Awesome machines!!!

Minelab, I'm sure, makes a great detector mcb613. It's not the machine. It's the operator. Every site requires a little tweaking to get around the minerals, EMI, and iron. Knowing your machine is the key. This 1892 IH came from about 8 or 10" down last night. A 1916D wheat was about a foot away. Also dug a 3" clock gear from over a foot deep. Still killing it!
