Got an almost key date barber

Decided to hunt a nearby 1914 school today. I dug the usual clad that showed at least the second bar for depth and left alto of surface stuff, except quarters, I'm hunting for older coins. First was a 1920 wheatie at 8", then comes along a 46 dime at about 5" and lastly was a 1903 O Barber at about 4-5 inches. If it had been a 1903 S, it would have been a key date coin, only 613,000 of them made, oh well I'm not complaining. It must have been on it side, because it didn't give a real strong signal and the depth gauge indicated that it was deeper. It was also a slick, as most of the details had been rubbed away, but I could still easily see the date and mint mark. It was with a bunch of junk around it, and I had to go to motion all metal mode to ferret it out, it's really neat how you can individually pick out targets in that mode, a very useful tool to use. In de, sens80-90, 2F,disc 6, and wide open notch. I'm sure there has been many detectors in this area as there used to be a large detecting club in the city and most area's have been hit hard, I attribute finding it to the F75, it does sniff the coins out that others have gone over.

Looks like the F-75 is doing well for you and hope it will even get better.I haven't used mine all week and when I got out I took my Sovereign with me, but I will try to get the F-75 out this week and see what more we can learn.
