Dug my 3rd Barber Dime in 30 days today.

I wasn't having such a great hunt today. I was finding trash, trash, and more trash. Basically, a normal hunt for this hobby. I was getting discouraged. To make things worse, a pack of kids came up and wouldn't leave. They were such a pain in the a$$. Finally, most of them left, all but two of them. I had had enough and decided to try and walk towards a different part of the park to try and lose them. As I walked, they followed, and kept getting in front of me. I moved to one side, and then the next, just trying to move away from them, and then I hit the signal. Faint, but sounded very silver in nature. OK, lets dig. When I uncovered the Barber I was in shock. Also it was then that I realized if it hadn't of been for these kids I would've NEVER have found this dime today. Their persistence moved me right to it! haha. I wasn't angry at their presence after that. :)

great find! I hate it when kids follow me around and ask a million questions, really hard to concentrate. I learned what works best is too totally ignore them and not even say one word, eventually they get the hint and walk away, but answer one single question and they stay forever
 
Don't be to rough on them, I was one of those kids 40 years ago.
 
Great Find

Great Story


As to those kids, I respond to questions politely and then I explain that I cannot dig if they are around me
and I will let them know if I found something Cool

It is also funny how they see me and Brian Detecting but they always approach me
I suppose they realize he would only ignore them:blink:
 
I usually just go into the technical and boring aspects of MD'ing with the kiddos. If that doesn't send them skittering away, then I ask them to give me room to swing and dig!

congrats on a nice barber!
 
Keep that up and you will be at 100 sivlers easy !!!!
 
1973 - nothing more exciting than following around this guy carrying a screwdriver and a huge metal detector. He would stop, poke the screwdriver in the ground 2-3 times, then took a knee and pull out quarter. Again and again. He told us where to walk out of the way and also let us listen to what he was hearing on the head phones...The school yard is fenced now, need to find a way inside to see what was deeper than 4", cause believe me, everything above 4" is cleared by this guy.
 
Good story ronfin, that's a nice barber. Heck, all barbers are nice!
