The Rosies I earned, the Barber was a gift.

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!!!

That’s a fine spot you have that’s loaded with goodies!! To me, that’s a super day of hunting. I wonder who the fella is that has the key to unlocking your heart 🤭😂😂
 
Nice job on the silver dimes. Thats fun pulling out the old nails and finding a treasure surprise right beside it.
 
The new guys went back to study the manual and Andy’s book. Its going to take a few tomes out to get the hang of things!

I started analyzing what happened last night. Only other experience I’ve had with nails was finding the Peace Dollar under several nails at 10”. Did the dime pull the nail signal numbers down? If so then even if the nails are masking the coin is the coin fighting back? My experience with nails is they hold hard with 97-99 numbers and large iron pieces hold 98-99 steady. I can also float the coil over it in pinpoint and get an idea of the size. I’m thinking the dime was hollering at me but the nail got my initial attention. Good thing I checked the plug or it would have gone right back in the hole.
 
Interesting. I also dug a couple more rifle casings, another 45-60 and a 30-40 Krag. A first for me on this lawn was what looks like a 45 ACP. I got it cleaned up this morning and the case head is stamped PETERS on top and 45 AC on the bottom. Its not the revolver style case but I can barely make out what looks like a cannelure ring around the case. Been looking on the net but not finding era information, just info about the round. Based on the other rifle cases we find it has to be WW1 era and one article eludes to 1920 but its not the same cartridge exactly that I have.
 
I recovered 2 30-40 Krag brass from a field at the resort we were at back in Sept. Resort owner said they were probably his as he still deer hunt with the 30-40 Krag and shoots from the field into a hillside at a target to make sure the rifle is still zero'ed in each fall. Food a 9mm bullet yesterday at a park.??? HH jim tn
 
Nice hunting on investigating that 96-97 signal. Those high 90's numbers never pan out for me. Great 3 silver day Ron.
