Detector(s) used
Started with a Minelab xterra 505. Then Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances. Now use a manticore.
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
I've been doing more dump digging though the winter months as detecting on top of my job and piano is causing some tendinitis in my detector swinging hand. Dump digging doesn't bother it as much. Anyway this was over three hunts. Last being yesterday. I've been eyeing this pretty inaccessible fresh-water spot for a while. Finally took the walk there which you can only do when the tide is mostly out. Tide is something you have to watch because the path there gets covered with water faster than the area I detect. You'll either have to run through private access trails to get back on land or hang out on a tree until the tide goes out. It's very coin heavy. The 1st photo items were found on way there. Second and third photo were at my intended destination. I've never dug this many barber's in one place. Also tons on fishing lead and ammo as expected.

Total hual over three trips
*1919s mercury dime
*1875 one Pfennig German coin ( weird signal)
*collar stud
* ww1 flag lapel pin. I was told these were a pin to show there person had one or more family members deployed. One star per family member
* 1905 indian, 1901 indian, 1888 indian
*1911 V Nickel
*1913? Buffalo nickel
*a bonus bead and marble
* Two 1916 d barber quarters one with an xf reverse (posted)
*1902, 1912 and 1898 barber dime.
*brass start shapped miraculous metal.

I took a newer detectorist with me and she like me dug a lot of lead. But she got a nice 1918 mercury dime, a fancy pressed brass broach or clasp, a bail seal and half a Native American stone pipe bowl. We are going back at somepoint, tide chased us out.

*disclaimer results not typical.

Wow ... you knocked it out of the park - congrats on all the great coins !

I still remember finding my first Barber Quarter - about 15 years ago on a Beach in Maine.

Thank you. It's a lot if walking but worth it. It's really strange that the all but two of barber coins I've found in five years of detecting are sites on or near this one road. My 1894 s quarter and my 1893-O barber quarter were a mile apart.
