After digging countless mercs over the last couple of months I finally pulled up a Barber.... And this one was probably the most shallow silver, 2 1/2" at best. It did have some iron on it and I had to get right over it to get a solid signal. I love being able to pinpoint and see that 2.5 frequency come up. People that dont have a v3 series machine just dont understand how useful this is.

She was a hundred yards behind an old farmhouse. She sure is an ugly coin,With scratches all over and super dark toning, the kid must have held on to her for a while. I didnt want to scratch it so carried it in my mouth swishing the dirt off for a while.... I guess I am sick like that. I might have thrown it in my finds pocket if I knew what it looked like.

My hunting buddy was there a week before and scored some hotel key tags from a hundred years ago.... He busted one up bad and chunked the other. "Dig bigger holes Vince"..:thumbup:

The local school was located around a quarter mile south and I figured that the children living there would have ran through the field in a straight line in the summer and would have had to go around the bog in the winter. 4 silver coins out of the field so far, some buffaloes and a bunch of wheats.

My wife scored the nicest find today, a 1875 engraved sterling silver baby spoon, with the DFX.
 
Now that you have broken that dreaded curse, the sky is the limit. :rofl:
 
Yah, That Merc curse is terrible. I hate digging Mercs.:rage:
 
I got my super 12 today and it should give me an inch or more on dimes and around 2" on quarters. I have to hit the field before they develop it. I should add that my hunting buddy found a 1901 barber there that is in vg+ or better condition. He has also pulled 2 buffaloes and a merc from it including countless brass items. My wife also got a Rosie there.
 
Congrats on the barber dime!:thumbup: Man I wish I could dig countless merc,s.:drool:
