[coltdavis]

I think im still in shock lol. Today i got up and went to work at my grandparents the place where i found my 2 IH cent's, well today i got there and got done with the work a little early so i had the detector with me and was hoping for some silver. I decided to hit up the side yard a place i had detected a little but not to much the second good sounding signal i got hit the 50 cent mark on the ace 250 and stayed there with every pass. The first ended up being a screw cap. I was hoping but these signals usually turn out to be deep large iron, or beer cans. I dug a bigger sized plug then normal just in case and when i pulled it out and rescanned the hole the target sounded good still, which got me a little excited. I removed some dirt and thats when i seen the face of the coin. I could see that it was Barber , wow what an a great feeling that was. I carefully removed the coin and could see the date 1899!!!! I just sat there and stared at it for what seemed like forever lol. I had just dug my first-Barber, My first half dollar, and my first 1800's silver , knocked out 3 first with 1 coin lol. Heres the scan of the coin. I just stopped detecting i had to get home and share my find with everyone lol. Hope everyone is having a great day! Thanks for looking and HH

Thanks lol i was surprised at the depth of this coin only about 4 inches down.

I have found coins at various depths, old and new. For example I once found a 2000 quarter at 8 inches in a yard. I tossed the theory of being deep means old and being shallow means new out the window a long time back. Now I just dig, dig and dig some more till I have them all. lol

congrats again, when you find that gold one there I will be dancing myself.

lol keep gridding it out, slowly sweeping back and forth, making sure you over lap and you will find them. do you have a headset to listen for those light faint tones too? If you don't pm me and I will send you a set

When you grid it out, go from every direction in each section. That was a super find.
