Finally MY FIRST,,, Silver Quarter....:crazy:

Derrelld

Well-known member
First of all,, let me tell you how my crazy day started... i just ordered the Excal 2 and it came today,,, so i got up waiting for the Ups man impatiently all day.. I didn't plan on even hunting the soil tonight,, BUT I also wasn't smart Enough to realize the battery would be dead:wacko: lol So when it arrived i was like a little boy on Christmas morning... Then completely bummed when the battery was so dead,, all it did was turn on... My buddy Tim made the remark going to this park that i never even thought about in my town to hunt, and look for rings... So after not being able to use the Excal i was like what the heck... my friend said he pulled a Indian out of it last year, plus a good oh wheatie.. My friend also uses the a whites so i knew there was still old coins in the area :) just playing Tim.... and if there was one Indian there was most likely more.. plus hopefully silver.. I wasn't real big on the idea for locking for gold rings in the park, cause all i find is foil and pull tabs... so as soon as i get out of the jeep... i put had the new Pro coil on the Explorer SE.. In ten minutes i found a 1892 Indian... close to about 7 inches deep.. then a lil later i found two wheaties stacked on each other "1942, 1936" walked down about 20 more feet,, bam another Indian "1881". Walked down a little more and pulled two more wheat's "1940,1945".. i searched around a little more and my girlfriend wouldn't stop calling my phone ,, "ever have that problem??? and if so how do you fix it?" lol well i guess if she reads these it will be fixed lol anyways... i got feed up and left.. I got some food and started thinking about the park some more.. and realized i was an idiot for leaving because i hardly searched the think and i found 2 Indians and 4 wheat's,, plus Tim was still there searching... so i got pack in the jeep and drove the 7 minute drive to the park... i get out of the jeep and Tim shows me his 10 nickels 2 quarters and pennies... i was like cool man whatever lol so i turn the detector on and bam get a target... i pulled it out of the ground and it was a coin about the size of a quarter.. with something naughty on the front :) :) lol The place had tons of trash in the ground.. so i had to work it veryyyyyy slowly,,, which is key to the Explorers success.. after about 10 minutes of finding zinc and bottle caps,,, i swung the coil of next to a small tree,, and it started screaming at me... i got a very high high pitched tone... i figured it was a silver dime of something... so i open my huge whole as normal and stuck my sun-ray probe in the ground.. out popped a 1945 D Wheaties... i was huh???? that was a really high pitch for Mr Lincoln... so i covered the whole back up... stood up,, and swung the coil back over... it still screamed dig me you idiot lol so i hit the pin point and this time it pinpointed about 2 inches in front of my other whole... so i opened the whole and pointed the probe in... i got that high pitch that every one likes to hear with the probe when you have a deep possible coin... so i dug down about 7 inches... and there it was... actually i didn't know what the heck it was at first... it had dirt all over it,,, i just knew it was bigger than a dime,,, and silver lol i grabbed it with my heart beating and ran over to Tim... Usual Tim ohhhh you got you a Barber what you did... 1892 what it is " No remarks on Tim's grammar,,, it's what makes up love him" lol He was so jealous.... after that i pulled one more wheat... 1944 D.. it started to get dark and the CREEPERS started to come out so i called it a night:surrender: lol The coin is not in the best condition,, but it;s my first silver quarter and my first Barber anything.. Thanks for looking and thanks for reading my ridiculous long message... but I'm still stoked lol Thanks

Nice finds.....what was the other coin "it was a coin about the size of a quarter.. with something naughty on the front"....does it look like a large cent? Why not post a pic of it?
 
Thanks alot.... umm i sent you a pm lol
 
and now your digging those Barber Quarters!! Did you tell everyone about your half dime??? Congrats on the Barber and those two Indians as well Derrell!!
 
I did eat your crackers but i think the weird guy that almost hit you in the head and stole your detector is the one that broke your truck.... haha Thanks alot Jack... We need to get out and hunt again soon,,, had a blast!!!!!!
 
I will... What my wheat's are not good enough for you???? lol
 
I know.. there has to be more coins in the area... I'm just got the excal 2 yesterday.. so tonight I'm going to play with that... then tomorrow... park to the park lol Thanks for the comments and looking everyone :)
 
You said==my girlfriend wouldn't stop calling my phone ,, "ever have that problem??? and if so how do you fix it?" Tell her the radio waves from the cell phone cause interference in sound and depth so the phone will be turned off but for her to leave a message and during your breaks you will call back. What did you think about the new Pro coil vs the standard?
 
Thanks every one:) and i will definitely try the cell phone thing :lol: um so far i love pro coil... The ground is really dry around my area and i have been pulling some deep coins... i don't know if it's a good thing or not because it harder than heck digging in It... j-k it's a great thing... I also Need tho thank Scott from Metaldetector.com for all his advice... He has helped me so much with expert advice and choosing the right detectors.. Thanks Bud :buds: Every one should definitely give them a call for gear, detectors, advice or anything... the people are great... and willing to help...
 
So i fixed the cell problem... i just laid down the law one her and told her that when I'm detecting I'm detecting.... not talking on the phone lol She gave me a little attitude,, but in the end i came out on top :devil:
