Barbers X 3 - unexpected and so welcome :thumbup:

For someone like me who babbles on I'm trying to figure where to begin with my F75 comments. So far I've used this detector in a couple of farm fields and a very hammered park. Although I have no more than 15 hours in the field with it I am confident it is a perfect fit for me and balances out my arsenal. I'm looking forward some cellar hole hunting, the ones we spotted a couple days ago were posted No Tresspassing....:ranting:! I pulled a silver Roosie (not pictured) that was on edge at better than 6" with a good audio AND visual alert. I had nailed a few deep cents that had been missed. This park and one particular area had been hunted aggressively by a few up until last year. As always "no one gets it all", but many CAN get most all the goodies and except for one fella with an AT Pro the rest were using detectors noted for nailing deep silver and copper coins. Tuesday I went door knocking but kept getting no answer because it was during the "work day". As to not to loose the day driving around we hit a former farm field that is now open space. My buddies first target was an Indian cent so it was game on. I pulled a 1912 dog tag and some odd bits of old crap. Then I get a soft repeatable high tone and good VDI for cent/dime. At just over 6" I located a 1913 dime, very dark but nice surfaces. I went on to find two more Barber dimes from the same site and I enjoyed switching up modes and audio over a target before digging to get a feel for how these settings affect how I interpret the target. The menu / user interface is excellent. I also scored a couple of musket balls - not pictured.
Well here are the pics, that's what everyone wants to see anyway :cam: dime at the bottom had been in a fire.
The counter is by the Veeder company, patented October 1899. This outfit became the Veeder-Root company and is still operating today.
I've been spending time in my yard over some planted targets and my findings are very encouraging. This detector is a great fit for me and the balance is light. I added the arm strap and prefer this on my detectors to help my coil control.
Great fun!

That's some fantastic finds! Those barber dimes are RARE. Sounds to me you may want to get back in that area and grid it.
Thanks! The site is definitely worth a return trip. I should do some gridding!

Nice finds. The F75 is a fun metal detector to use.
It sure is fun, I clicked with it in a very short time.
