I haven't had a whole lot of time to go detecting lately. Been busy as hell with work and getting things done around the house during every spare second that I have. Well, had a couple stiff drinks last night and developed a wild hair to go detecting. Was completely dark out.
I live right across the street from a little city park that has been there since time immemorial. I knew there had to be good stuff in there cause there's just too much junk to not be masking things. I've been hitting it quite regularly and had only pulled a couple wheats and a war nickel, though.
Fired up the Etrac and started swinging. I've been experimenting with two-tone-ferrous lately, and although I don't believe it to be a miracle cure, it sure has its place. Not two feet after I started swinging I got a spotty high tone that was consistent in all directions. 11-44. Was expecting a clad dime. Dug down about 7 inches and saw the black coin. A BARBER!
Yep, my first signal in a stupendously trashy park, in the pitch black, while half-drunk was a 1914d Barber dime!
I did scratch the back slightly, though. Bummer.
Thanks for reading my long winded story. I get carried away sometimes!
