nice barber half

I found this barber half yesterday in one of those old parks that everyone has hunted. The strange thing is that I've been finding quite a few wheats and two silver dimes here, which have been very faint signals, but had the flutey sound. This signal hit solid (not flutey), and from every direction a constant 00-26 or 00-27. The depth indicated 7 inches. No trash nearby, so I don't know why it was missed, but I'm glad it was. Pics are before and after cleaning with water and detergent. I grade it an EF.
 
OH YEAH!!!!! You done good with that one.
Very nice Barber Half.... Gold Nuggets :wiggle:
 
That's a great looking coin! It looks like it was never lost or buried at all. Way to go!

Nice one DougF
 
Thanks for all the comments - it has a little crud on the reverse which wouldn't come off, but I decided not to overdo it and let it be. This one will be hard to top, but I'll try.
 
That's a very nice barber half you have found!! :super:

Yeah, I sometimes wonder how certain signals in the ground can remain undug after all these years of folks metal detecting those types of parks. With that large target, possibly the ground in that exact spot had never been passed over by a coil, until you passed right over it.

Congrats,

Wow that's one of the best looking Barbs I've seen dug in a long time! I would grade that easily as a VF pushing AU and cha-ching $$!
Congrats on that excellent dig!

After thinking about it, the soil here is very dry now, powdery. This park has high natural iron in the soil, and it may be that when the soil is moister, the iron prevents the deeper targets from being heard. During moist times, I get a lot of falsing here. This was within six feet of the largest tree in the grove, so you would think someone had detected around it. You may be right though, just luck that nobody passed a coil over it.
