went out both yesterday and this morning to the place where i found the SLQ, the 1916 MERC, and those two large cents last time. yesterday morning i got skunked pretty much. only came away with some clad. this morning however, i got this 1914D BARBER QUARTER and a LARGE CENT that i cant get a date off of. the large cent is in the typical crappy condition that old copper usually comes out of the ground like around here. 
oh well..I'm still happy to find it. this place is a weird place to hunt. all of the old finds have been within a 100 foot area. i would love to know what drew people to only such a small spot on what is otherwise a huge piece of property. there are some overhead power lines that really make detecting tough. i used the GTI 2500 today and it seemed to fare a little better than the SE did yesterday morning. it still was chattering like crazy though. i can only guess what might be buried directly under those lines but it is just about impossible to detect under them. i tried the sniper coil for the Garrett and it helped, but right under those lines is terrible no matter what coil,machine or sensitivity setting i use. i guess i will have to settle for what i can find away from the lines a bit. there are still a ton of low tones to dig up there because i have only been cherry picking the high tones so far. i would imagine there must be a nickle or two out there somewhere.anyway, I'm pretty happy with this mornings results! 
a barber quarter was on my list of things to find! thanks for looking.

ill bet it would work though. I'm gonna try hitting as close to the wires as i can with the small sniper coil. it was doing OK with the interference. I'm just not convinced that it has the depth to get to where these old coins are.
Best of luck in that place bro.
