Started out late this morning introducing two of my fellow Search and Rescue members to MDing. The both bought Minelab Nox 800s and I drive a Fisher, can you see the language barrier???? Well they got see how it reads things from modern coins to silver coins and a gold ring and how a big ol rusty square nail messes everything up. My job was done, but Bob did find his first clad dime so here we go.
After we broke up I headed to the infamous AdLawn with a plan. I set the F75 up to 70 sens and went into Boost Program. The area I went back to has produced an IH, a Buff, a V nickel and one gold ring. Bring it I say.
Within 30 minutes I get a good dime signal and dig about 5” and out pops a 56 Rosie, renewed enthusiasm sets in. I keep moving forward semi slow and cursing the 98-99 iron falsing every step. This area has nasty EMI so I toggled thru the seven different freq’s and found a quiet one channel, take that EMI. I get a solid 96-97 at 7-8” and decide to dig as the pinpoint shows a rather small footprint. I dig a clean plug down the full length of the Lesche and pull the plug. Run the Garrett around the hole and get a strong solid vibration in the wall so I carefully dig it out, about a 4” rusted square nail. Dang…… run the carrott around the outside of the plug and it vibrates solid again right dead center at the bottom. I simply crumble the loose dirt a little and I see a silver shiny coin in the dirt pile. It says One Dime…….
I carefully turn it over and its a Barber dime, a 1900S to be exact!
I’m still not sure if I was reading the nail or the dime or both, the nail was vertical in the ground and no more than two inches from the dime. I took a couple photos and sent them to jkline who responded with some loving but crude verbiage.
I did find one more Rosie in the same basic line (whats the odds finding two 56 dimes….) Only other find was a small non silver charm that rang dime at 7-8” and it was all of that.
Still scratching my head on the Barber (my second), thinking it was a gift from the MDing powers up above!!!
