Had a very good day today. My two detecting buddies and I have been hitting this park for some weeks now. Got my walking liberty half at the same park awhile back. Second or third dig and I get a rosie at about 5 or 6 inches. Put the plug back and recheck with my coil and still get a nice tone and number. Pop out the plug and the first rosie has a brother with him. Been awhile since I found two silver in the same hole. A little while later I get one of those iffy hits out of a null (using Andy's coin program). The tone stops me in my tracks. I worked the stock coil around until I got a repeatable tone but the first numbers weren't even in the teens. The second numbers are bouncing too but I'm getting 46, 47 from time to time and the tone is pretty good. This target is also between 5" and 6" deep but it's close to trash so I'm hoping for something good. Get my probe into the bottom of the hole and I get 11 or 12-47 and I do what we all do and that is we start saying "be silver" Out pops silver and it's a quarter. Pick it up and it's my first Barber quarter (silver out of this park looks ugly but I'll take them)! I can't wait to get on the phone to one of my buddies to tell him. After we talk and before the dirt goes back in I scan the bottom of the hole with my X-1 probe again and I get a 12-43 off to the side. Another brother? Now I'm thinking "I just pulled a barber quarter" so this can't be a clad dime of wheat. Just know it's going to be a barber dime. I take some dirt out and I see it's another quarter. Now I'm pumped because I'm thinking I have another barber quarter. But no luck! It's only a no date SLQ Ended up with 6 silver for the day and 9 wheat's.
First time I've ever dug a barber quarter, First time I've ever found two silver quarters in the same hole, and t's the First time I've dug two holes and got two silver out of each hole on the same day. Life is good!!
