Another Barber With "The Coil" ~ 27 Wheats, 5 Silver in Two Short Hunts!

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday morning, Mike (oknorom) and I went to a couple of local spots along the smoke free Southern Cal coast to try our luck at some of the turf deepies from some heavily Explorer'ed areas. Armed with my new SE Pro coil, my confidence was high. I scored three silver today, and about 18 wheaties, including a 1912 Barber dime. One of the silver coins, a Rosie, was in an old plug. Love when that happens. Someone forgot to re-check their hole. ::) Last Friday, on a couple hour hunt, I managed 2 silver and 9 wheats from another hard hit site, which also happened to be from an area I had never been able to get very much from two previous trips there. I am very impressed with this coil, if I haven't told you already... ;D If you're wondering how Mike did, he did very well today with his 1050, scoring as many silver as me.

Oh, forgot to mention, I thought I had found a silver half after seeing a large rimmed coin in my plug, but it turned out to be a 1953 Uncle Sam 50 Cent piece play coin. On the reverse is what looks to be a deer head with the words "Falsa Pecunia" on the bottom.

So the streak continues with the new coil. Life is Good!!

Thanks for looking! Stay cool and well hydrated out there!

Good stuff Dan. Glad the new coil is a winner for you. My SEF 10 x 12 should be here Wednesday...and my buddy already has his new minelab 11" coil...so it will be interesting to do some side by side testing over what we think are deep silver targets. :thumbsup:

Wow. Nice Hunt. Maybe I need to save my clad for a Minelab machine.

Dan the Man in SoCal, that new SE coil is yanking out the goodies in record time. :thumbsup: I see this coil finding suuuuuper deep silvers in those hunted out parks.

Your buddies will be soon purchasing one if they haven't already. :icon_sunny:

You guys never cease to amaze me with your deep recoveries in the turf!

Keep the new SE coil fever high, my good friend from SoCal! :icon_sunny:

Well done, only 2 short hunts!! Wow that barber is amazing, it was likely dropped within a year or two after it was minted. That new coil sounds like the ticket :thumbsup:

Dan,

Congrats on the nice finds! I found a 25 cent piece that says Falsa Pecunia, Play Quarter, 1952 on it. What's up with these? Glad the new coil is working so well for you! I always look forward to your posts. You are an inspiration to us all! Keep the fever high, and...

HH,

Dan,
I may start calling you "The Squeezer". You are squeezing every bit of silver out of those hunted out sites!!! Nice job with that new coil Dude. :thumbsup: Nice looking Barber by the way. :wink:

Hi Dan! NICE FINDS MAN!!! You're still finding the goods on a regular basis! It's been too hot and the ground is too dry & hard to go detecting here the last week or so.

I love that play coin ~ HALF BUCK ~ nice!

KEEP IT UP MAN!!
