Two firsts, SLQ,injun and a Communist?:usaflag:

Met up with Syinthnut and hit the pounded out big city park for the umpteenth time.. All of the easy target are long since gone. I worked my way back to the place that produced all the barber dimes and the Barber half i had gotten. Not ever getting a IH penny the hunt was on. Rereading Andys book and finding the chart with the numbers. I put 12-34 & 12-35 in my mind.
Setup the EZ Track with a modified high trash pattern and settings. Off i went. No more than two passes i caught a smell of i high signal. It was only one way in auto +3 "about 19". I flipped over to manual and upped it to 30. Better but not great. the 46 47 peeked my interest. Pinpoint was just a low moan and sputtering. So i marked it with a stick and moved on. Several passes later i hit what i was looking for. 12-34 12-35 at about 6". 1905 IH "my first" "yay". Hit a nice high tone a little later and up came this Soviet union pin. "only in a big city park lol" A few wheats later and a crusty Buffalo. I hit a high sweet target right next to a old tree. Called Synth over so he could check it out. He took a look with his ET and said it had to be a Barber dime. Although it dipped into the 46 range the 47-48 told me different. Dug it up with him standing there watching. 1924 SLQ "first "yay!" Stay lost in the tones all!

You guys really have to see the condition of the SLQ .....I had to look at it closely as it was so clean it looked like a newer Quarter ..... Good day of hunting for EZ ......I got a couple of wheats , but no Silver this tme around ......I did get a pretty good coin spill that netted me 6 dimes , 2 Nickels, and 5 Pennies ....Nothing old, but a nice spill just the same .....This park is really picked clean .....The area where EZ found this Silver is REALLY picked clean ....Its one of those area's where you have to hunt SLOOOOWLY and methodically and listen hard for every little peep !!..... Come in on the wrong angle , or too fast , and you will miss your target ..... You really have to be patient ......I will learn patience one of these days ....Still a nice day to be out , and had an enjoyable day !!.....Jim
