Ron,

Nice coins. I'd love to average multiple silvers per trip....sure beats my average of multiple trips per silver!

Hit the Barber park the last two nights for about 2 hours each trip. I'm still learning this machine and I think I'm reading too much and thinking too much, because I have a hard time not digging those iffy signals. I have visions of a coin on edge, next to a pulltab or nail. My collection of nails and pulltabs is growing steadily.

Nice digs Ron! Silver quarters are my favorite coins to find. I revisited a site the other day that I "pounded" years ago - thinking, lol, it would make the "old site come alive again" like the ads say. No dice. When I pound it, it stays pounded! Low and slow, overlapping sweeps and coverage from 90 and 45 degrees multiplied by multiple visits really works.

MP, I know what you're going through with the iffys... sometimes that's most of what's left to dig. You go so long without a good hit, you start hallucinating that junk sounds good. If you're running your sensitivity high, I've found that good stuff still sounds good next to junk, even if the meter readout is inaccurate. I dug a Barber half, maybe 4 inches that was a solid 12-44 (12-39 as you came off the edge of it). Memorial cent or clad dime, right? Tone was silver high though. After I got the half out, there was iron next to it (11-09, I think).
