Barbers wait for those who persist !!

[1491]

Pulled this nice one from an old dump site that I've now hunted at least 43 times since Feb. '08, according to my notes. I have 'given up' on this site more times than I can remember, but because it is conveniently located, I'll hit it now and then when I have spare time. Sometimes I'll go 3 hours here without a keeper. Last night, I got this Barber and a '21-S wheat. The Barber ID was pretty bad on the F75, because of nearby iron, but it SOUNDED GOOD in 2F tones. Persist, people!

Re: Barbers wait for those who persist

A Barber would be a pretty tough one for you, heh? (assuming from your Union Jack you're across the pond?) That would be like me digging a hammered silver over here.

Although both are possible in this crazy world that is detecting. I know several hammered dug from the US. Keep looking

Hey, I'm just flattered to have two guys from The Empire check in for a Barber dime!

I used to be married to a Brit, so I know all about the sun never setting on the British Empire.

Sweet barber! You are, of course, right on the money. Persistence is indeed the name of this game.

Just goes to show you that persistence pays off. Congrats!

I think more newbies on Tnet should read your post. Sometimes when they see all the stuff being found, they think they just go to a site and should find good coins every time. When their digs don't meet these expectations, they quit the hobby.

I bet you'll always appreciate that Barber more because of how much work and raw persistence it took to find it! I used to hunt a site that was seemingly so barren that I think I only ever found 1 wheat penny there. Well I didn't even hunt it 43 times, maybe more like 20. I bet it still holds a couple coins.

Congrats again.

Thanks for sharing your story Rusted_Iron. Yep, I shudder to think at the number of great finds out there that still remain in the ground because of impatience or a lack of persistence. Really, every find is like winning a mini-lottery. I'm not jaded yet, after 2 years of this. - Jim
