Bypassed recovering my first Barber, that one is still on the bucket list, but this thing popped up out a hole today and shock and awe doesn't even describe the feeling.
The park I hunt most of the time is old but not that old...dates back to the mid 20's.
I have found a few Indian heads here, a few other silver dimes and a buff plus even a 1922 Peace dollar, all great finds but I never suspected anything this old was hanging around.
Check that, I did find a super worn 1880's V nickel once also but I thought that was just a fluke and the IH's were still being carried in change way into the 20th century.
Maybe coins like these were still carried in pockets later than I thought, or there might have been houses in the area I don't know about, either way I have to look at this park in a different way now then I did before.
Who knows what else is hanging out around here.
F70, sniper coil, an area I have searched before but the ground was a bit moist today and I must have hit it at the right angle.
Not a pure dig me signal, there was iron on all sides sounding off, iron signals coming from the same area as the dime too so that was probably deeper but I heard enough of a good tone to trigger my digging instinct.
My skills are still growing regarding digging around heavy iron, glad to say, this area has been scoured by myself and uncountable others for decades but it was so masked we all missed it...till today.
I also dug the back of an old pocket watch and a nice sterling St. Christopher pendant, both very cool, but the headline for today is my first Seated.
Worn, thin and scratched up but beautiful to me.
F70 and the sniper coil...depth was around 6".
Settings were...
Disc on 3, SL, sense at 90, thresh at -3, 4H tones.
I heard iron grunts all around and when swinging over this dime but I heard a nice high tone here and there and numbers mostly in the low to mid 90's that repeated from two directions which is how the good stuff comes in in my mineralized, iron infused soil with added iron targets all around.
This is also how many iron targets come in too, just with more drops to iron and I usually avoid these type of signals but today, on this one there was just something especially good sounding in the high tones I heard.
