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!

HH,
CAPTN SE
Dan

Wow that's a lot of booty buddy! I'm really inspired now to make my 11"DD SEP coil "talk" like yours does :thumbsup:

Congrats on that sweet silver Dan :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 

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

Awesome finds as usual. It is hard to imagine there is any silver at all with you around.

Dan , Dan he's the man ...
If no one can do it ~ Count on Dan ...

Rock on my man ...

Very Nice & Continued Success with the new Coil ...

Nick

Hey, thanks Nick.


hey dan,

awesome, you got me super psyched here to try this coil out. i called kellyco to make sure it shipped last friday and the lady said "yup it shipped and was delivered this morning about 45 mins ago..." i got off the phone and went outside and there it was ! going to take it out tonight for it's first test drive can't wait to see what it will do !

thanks again for the recommendation !

kevin

Hey, thanks Kevin. It's not a miracle coil that's going to fill your pouch with Spanish Silvers and old Coppers, but it's a good coil. Solid, quiet, well balanced, and deep.

nice job on the silver coins! Also love the 1950's play coin as well!!

Thanks, DF. Keep at it with your new machine. You'll get better with it the more you hunt.

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.

Thanks, Bryce. Yes, the new coil is a winner. Hope your SEF is a killer coil too.

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

HH

Evan

Thanks, Evan. I would say that's a great idea, because once you clear your areas of the clad, all that will be left is trash and deeper silver/wheats. ;D

way to go on all of those nice finds...
Nice finds as always, Captain

Thanks, Allen and CrazyJarHead!!

man oh man, that sure is a really nice looking barber dime!! I can only hope to find one that nice ..well any barbers at all...still haven't found any yet![/quote

Thanks, Creeper. Yeah, the barber cleaned up nicely. Determination, patience, passion, and a good machine will lead you to the Barbers.

Wow!!! Great haul !!!

Thanks, TreasureFiend.

I think you're trying to corner the Silver market Dan!! Sweet finds and congrats on some great silver!

Thanks, Jack! No matter how many of those silvery coins I dig, I get excited seeing each one come out of the ground.

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

Kyle

Yo, Kyle. How's it going? Thanks for your comments, buddy! All my buddies are buying one of those new coils now. I guess I would make a great salesman. I endorse all my equipment I use, while extracting everything I can from each piece. Go find me some Coppas and Spanish Wilvers this weekend, my friend from PA! :thumbsup:

Very nice!! Grin

Great stuff, real nice looking Barber!
CurbdiggerCarl

Thanks, Bardok and CurbDiggerCarl!!

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

HH, Mark

Thanks, Mark. Yeah, I think that's my best barber so far this year.

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,

Dr. Ace

Thanks, Dr. Ace. Appreciate your comments. So you found one of those play coins too, huh? I couldn't find any info on the net about them. I saw one guy selling one for $19 on Ebay though.

Dan....Every one of your post is inching me closer and closer to the SE....Don't tell anyone though.I can see another Record Breaking year coming.Great Job on the new coil. thumbsup

Hey, thanks Civil. So are you really going to get the SE? You'd be pulling relics from 10-15" if you do. But you might have to get a bigger shovel. ;D

Another nice bunch of "stuff" Dan keep working those hard hit spots and they will keep paying off. I just posted my finds for the 30th so take a look.

Les

Thanks, Les. I saw your post earlier. That was an awesome day!! Right now, all I'm doing is working the heavily hit spots, and they are still producing.

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
-Doug-

Thanks, Doug. The "Squeezer"? ;D That sounds to close to "Geezer" ;D How about the "Extractor" or the "Silver Terminator"!!
 

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

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!!

Neil

Thanks, Neil. So it's too hot to hunt in your area? The ground here is very hard too. I can't go all day like I do in the fall/winter. My right hand is swollen, but it doesn't hurt.

Congrats on some sweet finds and good luck on your next hunt !!! thumbsup thumbsup thumbsup

Thanks, T-Bucket. Good luck to you too!! :thumbsup:

Sweeet Barber buddy! That coil is doing you wonders so far. Cool

Thanks, Johnny! Keep knocking them dead over there! :thumbsup:

Wow that's a lot of booty buddy! I'm really inspired now to make my 11"DD SEP coil "talk" like yours does

Thanks, Brett. Good luck with your machine. I hope I was able to help you out. Time, patience, and passion is all you'll need. Oh yes, and a good site. ;D

Congrats on that sweet silver Dan

Thanks, Merf. Can't wait to see some more of your pics and field finds! :thumbsup:

Awesome finds as usual. It is hard to imagine there is any silver at all with you around.

Thanks, Bartman. I say the same thing to myself each time I go out and hunt a place the me and my buddies have worked to death. Will I find anymore? I know there will be a day where I will be working very hard for a 1 silver day. But for now, I'm liking the multiples.
 

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